Kickoff: Meet the Identity Security Crew

Kickoff: Meet the Identity Security Crew
Welcome to our very first meetup! Think Toastmasters-style speaking practice, but every talk is about IAM, IGA, PAM, or AI agent identity. You'll sharpen your speaking skills and your technical chops at the same time. Slides are welcome but never required.
Agenda (Pacific time)

• 6:00 – 6:10 | Welcome: How the group works, plus today's roles (timer and feedback lead).
• 6:10 – 6:30 | Introductions (~60 secs each): Share your name, your role, and an IAM project or win you're proud of. Then tell us one goal you're chasing, or the deadly identity problem that keeps you up at night.
• 6:30 – 6:40 | Featured talk: Topic coming soon.
• 6:40 – 6:45 | Feedback round: Quick, constructive notes on what landed, what could be clearer, and one tip to try next time.
• 6:45 – 7:10 | Hot seat: Drop your real-world pain points in the chat and vote on your favorites. Volunteers then answer the top questions on the spot in 1 to 2 minutes. Example: "How do you explain least privilege to your CFO?" Totally optional, totally fun.
• 7:10 – 7:25 | Open discussion: What topics should we cover? Who wants to present? What other activities would you like to see?
• 7:25 – 7:30 | Wrap-up: Sign up for a future speaking slot or role, and get the date for session two.

What to bring

• A webcam if you're comfortable (optional, but it makes intros more fun).
• Your 60 secs intro.
• A work pain point or two for the hot seat.
• Ideas for future talks and activities.
• An open mind. Seasoned speaker or terrified of the mic, you're in the right place.
