Identity Management: The Central Nervous System of K–12

Tuesday, April 14, 2026
8:00 AM - 9:00 AM CT
Location: GoldCoast

K–12 districts are prime ransomware targets, facing pressure to do more with less. In education, Identity and Access Management (IAM) is more than a frontline defense — it is the central nervous system that enables learning and a critical driver of digital equity.  

Join leaders from Dallas ISD and IDEA Public Schools as they explore how strategic identity automation and management transform district operations. Discover how IT leaders can move beyond manual "firefighting" and fragile custom scripts to implement a foundational, orchestrated identity solution that strengthens security while maximizing instructional time.
