Today was an optional "summit" at work. There was an online campus site with an "auditorium" and an "exhibit hall". In the auditorium, there were live sessions of various speakers ... supposedly. I never got anything on that page.
In the exhibit hall, there were prerecorded videos and documents promoting various vendors' "solutions", plus other federal agencies describing how they are handling certain IT issues.
Some parts were informative, but overall, there was a bit of that slimy salesperson feeling.
This is needful, so we can see what products HQ-IT will roll out over the next year or so. But there should also be training sandboxes available to TechTeam members.

Magic buzzword bingo. Let's make "zero trust" a free space, since every vendor says it already.
We're all going zero trust, except for that Solarwinds security appliance inside everyone's networks that has privileged access to everything else (e.g., can use privileged usernames & passwords "so it can monitor better").

It started at 06:00 US-Pacific, 09:00 US-Eastern. I joined at 08:00 US-Pacific, 11:00 US-Eastern. S (who joined at 12:00 US-Central, 13:00 US-Eastern) suspects that there were limited spaces available ... and that people who weren't in the meeting early enough lost their reservations so that spur of the moment attendees could join.

S says she got in ... just in time for closing remarks.
