Partner Identity and Access Management, aka B2B IAM, remains one of the most overlooked areas in digital ecosystems. In the hands of the right, commercially minded digital team, it can be truly transformative.

In this conversation, Olaf Grewe (National Australia Bank), Jerome Tosterson (Salling Group), and Marco Venuti (Thales) challenge assumptions and share lessons from three complementary perspectives: financial institutions, retail supplier ecosystems, and identity solution providers.

The session explores common blind spots in IAM design, including how scale and partner diversity are often underestimated; the role of organizational validation,  third-party authentication trust; and how flexible delegation and authorization models can evolve from static to runtime and even event-driven contexts.

Expect sharp insights, cultural humor, and pragmatic takeaways that show how “improper” problem-solving, blending creativity, precision, and a touch of Danish clutter, can lead to more resilient and scalable approaches to B2B identity.
