The Benelux region has been home to some of our most engaged and longest-standing customers. Organizations here have always pushed us to think harder, build better, and stay honest about what identity security actually requires in practice.
This is a chance to get together, compare notes with peers from across the region, and have a direct conversation with the Omada team about what's coming next. You will also have the opportunity to meet Omada’s new CEO, Jakob H. Kraglund. We look forward to welcoming you.
Real stories from Omada customers at every stage of their Identity Security journey. Hear what they tackled, how they approached it, and what they'd do differently.
Get an early look at the product roadmap straight from the team building it. Ask your questions, share your priorities, and help shape what comes next.
Our technology and implementation partners will be on hand and ready to answer questions on integrations, deployment, and best practices.

An early look at what's coming next from Omada.
Presented by Benoit Grangé, CTPO, Omada
Take a break, grab some coffee, and chat with other Identity Security Tour attendees.
Most IGA projects don't fail because of the technology, they fail because the right conversations happened too late. In this session, IdentIT's Mathieu walks through three conversations every organisation should have before signing an implementation contract: with HR, to turn JML from a technical exercise into a documented business process; with application owners, to separate realistic scope from wishful thinking; and with IT operations, to ensure IGA and your service management landscape are designed to work as one. Practical, opinionated, and grounded in what we see going wrong (and right) in the market today.
Speaker: Mathieu Ahlstrom, Business Unit Manager Netherlands, IdentIT
The panel features experts from Cegeka, Traxion, and Praktiga.
Panel moderated by Elias Jensen, Director, Global Architect Practice, Omada
Grab some lunch and keep the conversations going with peers, partners, and the Omada team. Some of the best exchanges of the day happen here.
Jonathan will discuss real-world experience and learnings from these implementations, and some of the pitfalls he has encountered. When time allows he is easily distracted into reminiscing about IT Operations in remote sites from West Africa to Siberia, and interviewing while off-roading in India.
Speaker: Jonathan Barnett-Neefs, IT Operations & Service Delivery Manager, ECO3
This session shares the story of a rollout in progress: why Avans chose this direction, how the delegation model and supporting processes are being shaped in Omada, and the design choices and early considerations emerging along the way.
Speaker: Led Hilderink, IGA Consultant, Fortigi
This session explores how MUMC+ is working to secure and manage access to its most critical system: the Electronic Medical Records (EMR). We’ll share real-world challenges across processes, organizational dynamics, and technology, and how these impact identity governance in a healthcare environment. While the solution is not yet live, the journey already offers valuable lessons for organizations dealing with complex, high-stakes systems.
Speaker: Rob Bosma, Founding Member, Fortigi
In this 30‑minute sponsor session, Cegeka will share practical, real‑world insights on how organizations can turn an Omada go‑live into a sustainable Identity Governance capability that delivers measurable value over time. Based on field experience across complex IGA programs, the session focuses on why many implementations stall after initial delivery, and how to avoid this by designing Omada for adoption, operational ownership, and audit‑ready governance from day one.
Key topics include defining value beyond technical go‑live, selecting a governable MVP scope, making access reviews actionable for the business, embedding exception governance, and establishing a clear operating model aligned with Omada Process+ and Project+. Attendees will leave with concrete patterns and actionable next steps they can apply immediately in their own Omada programs, regardless of where they are in their IGA journey.
Speaker: Koen Laan, Global Solution Architect & Presales Cybersecurity Consultant, Cegeka
In this joint customer session, Dura Vermeer and CyberSphinx share how a careful strategic assessment and a structured implementation methodology resulted in the rapid and successful deployment of the Omada Accelerator Package.
Rather than approaching Identity Governance and Administration (IGA) as purely a technical implementation, the project started with a deliberate evaluation of business objectives, governance requirements, operational processes, and long-term scalability. This strategic foundation enabled Dura Vermeer to make a well-considered platform and roadmap decision.
Using the CyberSphinx ARGUS 6C Methodology — from assessment and strategic alignment to implementation, coaching, and operational care — the accelerator package was implemented in a remarkably short timeframe while maintaining strong governance and quality control.
An important success factor in the project was the close collaboration between Dura Vermeer, CyberSphinx, and Omada. Throughout the implementation, Omada acted in a consultancy and best-practice advisory role, continuously helping validate architectural choices, governance alignment, and implementation quality.
The session will provide practical insights into:
Speaker: Danny Bolung, Founder, CyberSphinx
This session will explore the implementation of a Minimum Viable Product (MVP) for identity governance at District09, highlighting key learnings, challenges, and early outcomes. The presentation will provide practical insights into how organizations can take the first steps toward a scalable Identity Governance and Administration (IGA) roadmap.
Speaker: Yavuz Gürcan, Co-Founder | Solution Architect, Praktiga

Presented by Mads Peitersen, Director, Field Strategist, Omada
A chance to recharge, continue conversations from the morning, and connect with the wider community.
You are in control on how every employee, partner, and customer walks into your digital world. Yet as sovereignty pressures mount and geopolitical fault lines widen, a growing number of organisations are quietly realising they may have handed the keys of your front door to someone else.
Business continuity depends on access. Access depends on identity. And identity, increasingly, depends on architectural choices made under conditions that are shifting faster than most IAM roadmaps.
Dennis van Beers cuts through the noise — and the fine print — to show what sovereign IAM actually looks like in practice, and how to get there before the locks are changed for you.
Speaker: Denis van Beers, Regional Director Europe North, Central & Eastern Europe - IAM, Thales
IGA platforms like Omada have transformed how organisations manage identity lifecycles. Provisioning is automated, access requests are structured, and governance workflows are in place.
But many organisations still struggle to answer a simple question: Who has access to what?
Identity Visibility & Intelligence Platforms (IVIP) are a new component in IAM, specifically created to provide visibility into who has access to what, right now, across every system.
In this session, we explore how IVIP platforms complement IGA and further augment existing IGA deployments by providing a unified, cross-system view of access across SaaS, cloud, and disconnected applications.
Discover how organisations combine IVIP and IGA to move from structured governance to continuous, data-driven identity control.
Speaker: Christian Bartels, Head of Sales, Elimity
The focus of this panel discussion will be on how the IGA landscape is evolving, where organizations are still struggling, and how different capabilities — from implementation expertise to access management, identity assurance, visibility, and intelligence — can work together.
Expert panel featuring:
Christian Bartels, Head of Sales, Elimity
Dennis van Beers, Regional Director Europe North, Central & Eastern Europe – IAM, Thales
Jonathan Gheysens, Managing Partner, IdentIT
Moderator: Craig Ramsay, Senior Field Strategist, Omada
