Welcome to the Western Michigan IAM User Group

Welcome to the Inaugural Meeting of the Western Michigan IAM User Group! This is a free event for local IAM professionals. Drinks and appetizers will be provided. Please pass this group on to your colleagues in this space so that you can share ideas, grow and network in Western Michigan!

Our speakers for this event are:

• Jim Gerken, Director - Identity, Novacoast - Presenting "Passwords are dead. Everyone agrees – passwords are terrible and they need to be replaced. So why haven’t you? It’s definitely doable.​"

• Eric Anderson, Independent Consultant - IAM. Eric will be presenting "Agility via Abstraction: Overcoming Organizational Inertia with Identity Abstraction and Virtualization", where he shares his experiences in overcoming organizational inertia by empowering the decoupling of identity data changes from application changes.

Thanks and we look forward to the first meeting!
