Identity Week America 2026: We brought Ground_Truth™ to the Main stage.
Identity Week America 2026, in brief.
Identity Week America 2026 ran September 2 to 3 at the Walter E. Washington Convention Center in Washington, D.C. The event drew over 3,000 identity professionals and more than 250 exhibitors from government, finance, travel, and enterprise security. We were among them, exhibiting at Booth 701 and closing out the show with a keynote from our founder.
What visitors saw at Booth 701.
At our booth, we walked attendees through Ground_Truth™ directly: a self-contained insole that verifies identity through foot anatomy, pressure and load signatures, and gait dynamics, all processed on-device. Nothing about the body is stored or transmitted outside the insole itself, only a verified yes or no.
We talked a lot about privacy and security at the booth, because it's the whole point of how we built this. Your walk becomes your password, a signature that can't be phished, copied, or stolen the way a card or credential can. Every other identity method takes a copy of you and stores it somewhere, and every one of those databases is a target. Ground_Truth™ never creates that copy in the first place, which means there's nothing centralized for an attacker to breach.
Visitors could also see how a technology we built for demanding operational environments now supports a health and mobility intelligence layer, giving auditable insight into how someone moves over time.
We brought our full team.
We did not send a small booth crew. We brought the people behind the product itself: our engineers, scientists, communicators and advisors, all representing Ground_Truth™, our biomechanical identity platform.
Our Founder and CEO, Todd Gray, took the keynote stage, joined on-site by Dr. Vaibhav Shah on biomechanical intelligence and Thomas Elliott, our Head of Data and AI. Our subject matter experts, Dr. Vladimir Polotski, Burak Sahin, and Dr. Bernard Grisoni, were on hand throughout the show to talk through the product, the manufacturing behind it, and the science underneath it all.
Behind the scenes, Sophie Hargest led our on-site presence, Daniel Allard documented the event, and Tess Alikhan and Kristie Marr kept things running.
Our closing keynote
An architecture of trust.
Todd Gray delivered the closing keynote of Identity Week America 2026, built around the idea of Ground_Truth™ as an architecture of trust. He used the session to lay out our thinking and what we see as the next phase of identity technology.
Our argument: the industry has spent years perfecting recognition, but the harder questions are still open. Who controls a person's biometric identity? What evidence does a verifier actually need? How does that foundation support everything built on top of someone's personal data?
Todd framed our answer around three questions we apply to any identity architecture, including our own: what stays with the person, what travels to the verifier, and what has actually been demonstrated. As he put it, trust has to start with the individual and be backed by evidence, not assumed.
For us, that framing isn't just a talking point. It's the same logic built into Ground_Truth™: identity data stays on-device, and the outside world only ever receives a verified yes or no.
Grateful for the opportunity.
We're proud to have closed out Identity Week America 2026 and grateful for the chance to be part of a show this size. Our team spent two days on the floor talking with genuinely great people: engineers, government leaders, and fellow founders all working toward the same goal of making identity safer.
Conversations like that are what keep us building. We're excited about where Ground_Truth™ is headed, and we can't wait for the day Bio_Sole is a household name.
Trust has to start with the individual and be backed by evidence, not assumed.
Keep the conversation going
We would rather keep talking.
If we met in Washington - or if you wish we had - leave your card. Tell us what you work on and a person will pick the thread back up.
