Facilities & Campus ID Summit

  • March 3-4, 2027
  • AIA Global Campus HQ, Washington D.C.

Event Overview

Facilities & Campus: ID is a senior-level educational and networking Summit, designed as a highly interactive forum that provides an interchange of in-depth knowledge, and serves as a catalyst for collaboration.

It focuses on how identity, access and governance frameworks must evolve to support security and operational resilience as campuses become increasingly connected, intelligent and autonomous. It examines the expanding identity landscape, from people and privileged users to devices, non-human identities and AI agents, across digital, physical and operational environments.

Sectors Include:

Healthcare systems, Higher Education Campuses, Large Federal Facilities and Industry Experts

About the Facilities & Campus: ID Summit

Topics to be covered

  • How CIOs and CISOs are redefining their approach to the increasingly connected, smart campus environment, and the impact on their identity frameworks spanning human, non-human, AI agents, digital and physical environments
  • The changing governance and institutional policy landscape for non-human identities, AI agents, identity proofing and increasingly converged digital and physical access
  • How institutions can discover and inventory current non-human identities in their ecosystems
  • Passkeys, phishing resistance & the future of authentication
  • Engineering the integration and translation layers for the future identity fabric
  • Preparing to defend the identity layer in a post quantum world
  • How identity is changing at the physical layer: facial recognition, mobile IDs, and behavioral biometrics
  • Designing the identity-ready connected campus: embedding overarching IT requirements into early owner requirements and basis-of-design decisions
  • Extending IAM into OT: governing human and machine access across operational technology environments
  • Where ITDR fits within the modern identity framework and strengthens identity governance through continuous detection and response to identity-based threats

Healthcare systems and higher education campuses are complex, heavily occupied environments serving diverse occupants, staff and operators. They also sustain extensive capital programs to upgrade, expand and retrofit aging infrastructure while meeting intense operational demands.

In these environments, identity is becoming critical infrastructure for security and operational resilience as human and non-human identities, agentic AI, third-party systems, biometrics, mobile IDs and connected campuses expand the landscape. Decisions made today—including in capital project planning, design and specifications—will shape security, interoperability and user experience for years.

Federal facilities add a valuable perspective through more prescriptive identity, credentialing and cybersecurity standards, offering lessons for healthcare and higher education. In turn, those sectors offer insights from complex, decentralized and rapidly evolving environments.

Bringing these sectors together with industry experts and researchers enables participants to compare approaches, share transferable practices and strengthen identity frameworks as digital access increasingly affects security, privacy, user experience and operational resilience.

Further, this multi-sector, multi-subject matter expertise focused summit will help enhance cross sector collaboration while expanding professional networks for future information sharing among all participants.

 

Gain Knowledge & Insight: Leave with knowledge gained and actionable takeaways from our from our senior level speakers

Build Partnerships: The agenda is designed to allow for ample networking opportunities and the ability to engage in constructive dialogue among all in attendance.

Participate in the Discussions: Help foster ideas! Share your own insight and knowledge during our interactive sessions. All attendees are encouraged to address our speaker faculty and each other with their questions, comments, or ideas.

ASI’s Summit is specifically designed to bridge the gap between innovative operational advancements and technologies and the practical operational realities of healthcare systems, higher education campuses and federal facilities. We recognize that leaders in these sectors often operate within their established networks, and our summit provides a crucial conduit for them to efficiently connect with, and learn from,a broader audience of colleagues, subject matter experts and industry partners. Our interactive forums are at the heart of this connection, fostering dynamic dialogue and deep collaboration.

Trusted for our expertise and reliability, ASI serves as a catalyst for real-world solutions through impactful engagements. Through a carefully curated agenda, we deliver impactful engagements that translate directly into actionable insights for all participants
