Lineup includes speakers from MATTR, Visa, IDEMIA, LA Metro, Federal Reserve, American Express, Giesecke+Devrient, National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) and many more

REDWOOD CITY, Calif., February 13, 2025 – The Secure Technology Alliance is thrilled to announce the agenda for the 2025 Identity & Payments Summit! The Summit is North America’s premier event exploring security trends and the convergence of payments, access control, transit, identity and emerging tech in the digital era. It will be held February 24 through 26, 2025, at the picturesque Loews Coronado Bay Resort in San Diego, California.

Day one:

February 24th will be a pre-conference day, featuring two exclusive events: the Mobile Driver’s License (mDL) Technology Showcase and the U.S. Payments Forum’s Spring Member Meeting. The mDL Technology Showcase, sponsored by oneproof, will explore the groundbreaking potential of mDLs for combatting fraud and improving secure authentication processes while offering users full control over their data. It will bring together key stakeholders to demonstrate real-world mDL use cases, including, but not limited to, online bank onboarding, point of sale age verification, TSA ID verification, reusable identity verification (IDV) for remote proofing and cannabis purchases at the point of sale. Full details can be found on the Summit website.

The U.S. Payments Forum Spring Member Meeting will be held concurrently, offering an exclusive, members-only experience. The meeting will feature several sessions focused on cross-industry collaboration and professional development for Secure Technology Alliance members. HID will open the meeting with a thought-provoking session by Strategic Advisor Allen Ganz. It will delve into the evolution of facial recognition in payments, leveraging global case studies to demonstrate how it enhances payment security, convenience and speed and offers a glimpse into the technology’s present and future potential. The meeting agenda will also include a collaborative panel with EMVCo, and sessions on FIDO passkeys, magstripe retirement, EMV 3-D Secure and an interactive merchant and issuer special interest group (SIG). Those interested in joining the Secure Technology Alliance are encouraged to visit the member benefits page to learn more.

Day two:

The Identity & Payments Summit will kick off in earnest on February 25th, beginning with a highly anticipated keynote address and fireside chat hosted by platinum sponsor MATTR. Simon Hurry, VP of Product North America at VISA and Luke McIntyre, Chief Product Officer at MATTR, will join Joel Semmelhack, Chief Revenue Officer at MATTR, to explore how the industry is powering secure and scalable digital credentials to tackle emerging threats like deepfakes and AI-driven fraud.

Jennifer Vides Hirsch, Chief Customer Experience Officer at Los Angeles Metro, will also deliver a riveting keynote address on how LA Metro is preparing for millions of new visitors to the city during the FIFA World Cup and the Olympics. It will cover mobility and transit strategies, access control, identity verification practices and secure and agile payments.
