#Oktane15 in Tweets
Las Vegas and the Aria weren't the only places powered up by Oktane15 last week – social media was also abuzz with observations, insight and energy from our third annual user conference. In case you didn't catch it, here are the highlights, told in tweets:
To kick off, CEO Todd McKinnon took the stage, where he unveiled a series of upgrades to our mobility management, provisioning and Okta Platform offerings. John Herbert from 20th Century Fox later joined Todd to discuss strategies for creating a seamless experience for employees, partners and customers.

Later that night, we took over the strip, headed to the Marquee Nightclub at the Cosmopolitan and tore up the dance floor.

Bill Nye the Science Guy closed the show, discussing everything from sundials and hot lava monsters to climate change and changing the world. Fun fact: his mother worked on the Enigma machine during World War II.
I'll be honest. I'm super psyched to see the mothereffing science guy @BillNye speak in about 20 minutes. #Oktane15
