FIDO Alliance Announces First Authenticate Conference for the Asia-Pacific Region
The industry’s premier event dedicated to digital identity and authentication expands globally with Authenticate APAC 2026 in Singapore
SINGAPORE, 02 December – The FIDO Alliance today announced the expansion of its flagship event series with the launch of Authenticate APAC 2026. This marks the first time the industry’s only conference dedicated to digital identity and phishing-resistant authentication will be held in the Asia-Pacific region. The inaugural event will take place on June 2 – 3 2026, followed by a FIDO Member Plenary from June 4 – 5, 2026, at the Grand Hyatt in Singapore.
As organizations worldwide accelerate the shift from passwords to passkeys and begin to unlock the potential of verifiable digital credentials, Authenticate APAC will serve as a regional hub for education, collaboration, and innovation. The decision to bring Authenticate to the region builds on the success of the FIDO APAC Summit held over the last two years. It also reflects the region’s growing influence in the cybersecurity landscape, where recent momentum in government digital identity initiatives and widespread commercial passkey deployments are helping to drive the global standard for secure, user-friendly authentication.
“The FIDO Authenticate conference has become the defining event for the authentication community, and we are proud to extend this platform to the Asia-Pacific region,” said Andrew Shikiar, CEO of the FIDO Alliance. “There is tremendous innovation happening across APAC, and this event will provide a dedicated space for local and global leaders to collaborate and help build the future of a secure, user-friendly and interoperable internet.”
The Authenticate conference series delivers high-quality content with a highly engaged community of professionals committed to advancing passkeys, digital credentials and related technologies. It is designed to bring together CISOs, business leaders, product managers, security strategists, and identity architects to advance their knowledge of digital identity and shape the future of authentication.

About Authenticate
Authenticate is the premier conference dedicated to advancing digital identity and authentication, with an emphasis on phishing-resistant sign-ins using passkeys. Hosted by the FIDO Alliance, this event brings together CISOs, security strategists, product managers and identity architects to explore best practices, technical insights and real-world case studies in modern authentication.

About the FIDO Alliance
The FIDO (Fast IDentity Online) Alliance was formed in July 2012 to address the lack of interoperability among strong authentication technologies and remedy the problems users face with creating and remembering multiple usernames and passwords. The FIDO Alliance is changing the nature of authentication with standards for simpler, stronger authentication that define an open, scalable, interoperable set of mechanisms that reduce reliance on passwords. FIDO Authentication is stronger, private, and easier to use when authenticating to online services. For more information, visit www.fidoalliance.org.
