The Deepfake Summit Announced as the First Prism Project Event, Convening Fraud & Identity Leaders on AI-Driven Threats

Executive forum examining deepfakes, synthetic identity, and agentic AI to be held March 2, 2026, in Houston, co-located with the STA Identity & Payments Summit

The Deepfake Summit marks a natural evolution of The Prism Project—from research and frameworks to real-world engagement as we create our first in-person event to address AI-driven impersonation fraud”

— Maxine Most, CEO, The Prism Project

DENVER, CO, UNITED STATES, January 12, 2026 /EINPresswire.com/ — The Deepfake Summit, the first official event produced by The Prism Project and Acuity Market Intelligence, will convene on March 2, 2026 in Houston, Texas. This expertly curated, highly interactive, limited-participation executive forum brings together senior leaders from financial services, fintech, payments, government, biometrics, and digital identity to confront one of the most urgent and disruptive forces shaping modern payments and identity ecosystems: AI-driven impersonation technology, including deepfakes, synthetic identities, and agentic AI. As these technologies have evolved from isolated attack vectors into coordinated, global-scale fraud operations, organizations increasingly face critical infrastructure failure points that demand new strategies, architectures, and governance models.

Rooted in The Prism Project’s Resilient Trust™ framework, introduced in the 2025 Biometric Digital Identity Flagship Prism Report, The Deepfake Summit extends the research, analysis, and strategic models from The Prism Project’s reports into a live, interactive setting. Co-locating the Summit with the STA Identity & Payments Summit connects identity, payments, and fraud leaders at a critical moment, enabling deeper cross-sector collaboration as AI-driven threats increasingly cut across financial infrastructure and digital trust ecosystems.

Summit participants will engage in forward-looking, cross-disciplinary, dynamic conversations that will help shape the future of digital identity, including:
• Direct dialogue with innovators creating the technologies, platforms, and solutions designed to detect and defend against rapidly evolving impersonation threats
• Strategic discussions with industry leaders developing and deploying countermeasures to address deepfakes, synthetic identities, and agentic AI across enrollment, authentication, and recovery
• Examination of emerging policy, regulatory, and standards initiatives aimed at ensuring responsible, privacy-first use of AI-driven identity technologies

The Deepfake Summit experience is designed to:
• Broaden and deepen understanding of the scale, sophistication, and systemic impact of deepfakes, synthetic identities, and agentic AI across digital ecosystems
• Translate threat intelligence into action, highlighting practical, deployable countermeasures spanning identity, biometrics, fraud prevention, governance, and privacy
• Equip leaders for an AI-driven future, aligning technology strategy, policy, and trust frameworks to build long-term organizational resilience

The Summit empowers attendees with the knowledge, connections, and strategic insight required to anticipate and navigate the rapidly evolving impersonation threat landscape—while preserving privacy, compliance, and user trust.

“The Deepfake Summit marks a natural evolution of The Prism Project—from research and frameworks to real-world engagement,” said Maxine Most, Founder of The Prism Project and Principal Analyst at Acuity Market Intelligence. “By co-locating with the STA Identity & Payments Summit, we are bringing identity and payments leaders together to address AI-driven impersonation threats that now span both ecosystems.”
