November 13th 2019 - Cheers to Identity - Collision Brewery - Cleveland

Our colleagues from Focal-Point, CyberArk, Ping Identity, and SailPoint co-sponsored Happy Hour at Collision Brewery in Cleveland Last Wednesday.  We call it "Cheers to Identity" and I think we need to make this a regular.  Lots of fun with friends, beverages, and identity conversations flowing.  Love how the patio overlooks the river!

Here's a little keepsake from the event:

November 1st - Cleveland Ohio

Our venue for last Friday's November 1st CLF luncheon was "Lockkeepers" in Cleveland, à propos for a group of cybersecurity professionals.  We had a great time last week with Bob Eckman, Jerod Brennen, Chris Voller, and all of our many guests from the security communities of Northeast Ohio.  Thank you all for sharing your lunch with us, and making it a great experience.
