We are excited to announce our first Connect customer conference in the Netherlands. This one day customer conference brings together leading voices in healthcare to explore how technology can improve care delivery, enhance the clinician experience, and protect patient privacy while addressing cyber security risk.

Imprivata subject matter experts will be joined by healthcare leaders to discuss what's next for access management and digital transformation—exchanging ideas, leading collaborative sessions, and challenging assumptions. Through peer insight and real experience, attendees can learn how passwordless access, Zero Trust, and AI are transforming secure, frictionless care.
