Semperis Opens Call for Papers for HIP Conference Europe 2027 -- Frankfurt, February 9

Acclaimed conference unites the world's preeminent experts in Active Directory, Entra ID, Okta, and Ping Identity security.

HOBOKEN, N.J., Oct. 1, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Semperis, the identity-driven cyber resilience and crisis response company, announces a call for papers for the 2027 Hybrid Identity Protection Conference (HIP Conf) Europe, taking place Tuesday, February 9, 2027, in Frankfurt, Germany. The submission deadline is Friday, November 6.

HIP Conf Europe 27 will continue the HIP Community's Redefining Resilience theme, bringing leading experts in Active Directory (AD), Entra ID, Okta and Ping Identity together for education, customer engagement, thought leadership and connection. These specialists, who operate at the intersection of identity and security, will deliver technical presentations, participate in panel discussions, and network with attendees.

"As organizations continue to modernize across on-premises and cloud environments, hybrid identity security has never been more important—or more challenging. Identity-based attacks are putting critical systems and data at risk, and defenders need a community where they can learn from one another and turn insight into action," said Guido Grillenmeier, Semperis Principal Technologist, EMEA. "That's why we are so excited about bringing HIP Conf back to Europe in 2027. The event's growth reflects the urgency of this mission and the strength of the practitioners, experts and partners coming together to secure the identity layer and build a more resilient future."

Unlike broader cybersecurity conferences, HIP Conf Europe is purpose-built for practitioners managing and defending hybrid identity environments — making it a must-attend for identity-first defenders.

Past HIP Conf events have included thought leaders from across the cybersecurity industry, including:

• General David Petraeus (Ret.), former CIA Director and partner at KKR
• Chris Inglis, former U.S. National Cyber Director
• Jen Easterly, RSAC CSO and former CISA Director
• Tim Brown, former CISO, SolarWinds
• Simone Perez, Microsoft EMEA Chief Security Advisor
• Simon Hodgkinson, former CISO, bp

Keynote presentations and expert speaking sessions are now available on demand, providing defenders with immediate, unrestricted access to premiere content.

Abstracts should be 200–300 words and geared toward a technical practitioner audience. Both returning and first-time speakers are encouraged to apply. To submit a proposal to speak at HIP Conf Europe 27, visit: HIP Conf 27 Europe Call for Papers Submission
