Recap
What a great turnout at AAuth Night: Moving Beyond OAuth! We had such great energy in the room, and it was clear people care deeply about this problem. We dug into how we’re improving OAuth today with ID-JAG, and how we can prepare for AAuth tomorrow.
Thanks to Dick Hardt, Karl McGuinness, Ian Livingstone, and Herman Errico for a great panel, and to Jared Hanson, Scott Motte, Jesse Ariss, and Ken Simpson for the great demos.
Thanks to Okta, Snyk, and AARM (a Cloud Security Alliance project) for their support.
Looking forward to future events and to continuing to build a big tent around solving agent auth.

I had the chance to attend AAuth Night: Moving Beyond OAuth in San Francisco. It was a great experience stepping outside my routine, hearing from people working at the forefront of technology. Thanks to Dick Hardt, Karl McGuinness, Ian Livingstone and Herman Errico for an insightful panel and for sharing your perspectives on the future of identity and technology.

Great event!! Had a lot of fanboy moments in the presence of absolute legends and found some great insights into the agentic security world. Dick — literally the author of the OAuth protocol. Karl — scaled Okta to $1B in revenue.

A great night. Reminds me of events in the late 1990s when the vibe was equivalently high. Expertly produced by Allie Howe and colleagues from Keycard. Thank you!
