Evolveum was proud to attend the European Identity and Cloud Conference (EIC) 2025 in Berlin as a silver sponsor, where we connected with numerous identity governance and administration (IGA) professionals and showcased midPoint, the only IGA platform made in the EU that is – on top of that – open source.
Our team members Radovan Semančík (Co-Founder & Software Architect), Igor Farinič (Co-Founder & Chief Executive Officer), Slávek Licehammer (Head of Engineering), Anna Ogureková (Head of Business Development), Simona Šimková (Business Development Representative), and Veronika Kolpaščiková (Marketing Specialist) were all on hand to talk about midPoint’s capabilities, innovations, and growing momentum.
From Laughs to Insight at the Booth: Memes, Memory Game, and MidPoint Debates
At our booth, visitors experienced two unique games designed to engage and educate about identity management and governance. The Reconcile This MemePoint game had participants match funny pictures with identity-related captions, then share their creations on LinkedIn. This sparked a lively community buzz, and we awarded two Star Wars LEGO sets – one to the participant whose post earned the most likes, and the other through a random draw.
We also had the MidPoint Matching Pairs game, which is perfect for everyone from kids to adults. This memory game cleverly introduced players to midPoint’s key features and benefits, combining learning with fun. Moreover, we held a Change My Mind activity that invited visitors to challenge Radovan Semančík in spirited discussions on hot topics like “LDAP is dead”.
Expert Insights and Talks by Slávek Licehammer
Slávek Licehammer led interactive midPoint demos at our booth, where attendees could ask detailed questions and get hands-on experience with the platform.
His standout presentation, Governing Non-Human Identities with Proven IGA Principles, attracted significant attention. With non-human identities now outnumbering human ones by 25 to 50 times, Slávek showed how midPoint applies trusted IGA principles to bring clarity, accountability, and compliance to this complex and growing challenge. This talk underlined midPoint’s unique position as the only open source IGA platform developed in the EU, providing a transparent, trustworthy solution for organizations across Europe and worldwide.
MidPoint Moments Beyond the Booth: Cruising, Running, Connecting
Simona and Veronika took part in two memorable conference traditions. First, the EIC cruise around Berlin provided a fantastic opportunity to network with industry peers in a relaxed setting. Then, during the morning EIC run, what was planned as a 5 km jog turned into a 7 km challenge – a fun and energizing way to start the day.
We were delighted to welcome representatives from eight Evolveum partner companies from around the world – including Japan, the USA, Argentina, and several European countries – who attended EIC 2025 in person. Our partners play a vital role in midPoint’s success, and their presence and support throughout the event were truly appreciated. On Thursday evening, we hosted a dedicated partner dinner, offering space to share midPoint experiences, exchange insights, and build new alliances.
Growing Recognition and Adoption of MidPoint
We are seeing strong interest from organizations considering migration to midPoint, especially as legacy identity solutions like SAP IDM and Microsoft Identity Manager (MIM) approach end-of-life. More and more of them recognize the value of switching to open source software for identity governance and administration. They seek the freedom, transparency, flexibility, and perspective that open code offers.
Founded in 2011, Evolveum is a professional open source company with full-time developers and engineers dedicated to maintaining and advancing midPoint. Our mature product is a true alternative to commercial IGA offerings, delivering reliable, innovative, and scalable identity management and governance. EIC 2025 was further confirmation of that potential and growing recognition.
Looking Ahead
EIC 2025 was a wonderful experience for Evolveum. It was inspiring to see midPoint gaining recognition and preference among organizations looking for a future-proof, open source IGA platform. We look forward to continuing to support and grow the midPoint community and helping organizations across the globe realize the benefits of open source identity governance and administration.
If your organization is considering a migration or looking into new identity management and governance platforms, we encourage you to explore midPoint – the EU-made, transparent, and trusted choice for IGA.
