I've been here. I think it was three years ago. That was my first time and really enjoyed
It is my first time at ERC.
It's my first time here,
But my second or third, I believe
I'm working identity access management. So this was the conference where I thought, Hey, I should be there.
I think having a combination of industry experts and customers is, is really good, good
Candidates, good vendors.
It always feels like EIC is a step or two ahead of some of the other conferences in terms of what people are, are discussing and what they're exploring for this
Conference. I'm really enjoying it. Of course, there's the element of getting to see people in person again, but then there's lots of new faces for me as someone that has only gone to us based conferences.
I'm really pleased with being able to, to leave the home office and, and visit and, and interact with people and have some time to reflect because that's where conference is always useful for me.
I love the exchange with new people about ideas on new and innovative approaches and identity and access management.
And, and for me, it was very interesting also to just sit in the keynotes and also look at the reactions of different people and, and customers and vendors to, to also kind of gauge, you know, where the industry's going.
It feels like a community let's call it like that.
Certainly zero trust, right as the one that seems to be top of the agenda for this time around,
I, I like seeing how the culture is affected by what we talk about here and identity and more and more it's becoming an integrated part of everyone's life. Especially during the pandemic, not world events,
Every vendoring itself has its pros and cons, but it's more about what's happening on the market. How's everybody dealing with the same similar problems.
New perspective is probably the chief one. And then just innovation connection, relationship and coalition building
Innovative, relational and practical.
I think it's the temporarily aspect of today or this, this period where you try to test a hybrid conference
Virtually it works well too. I've seen the events before that EIC and temperature goal put on and it's been like, you were there.
