Greetings BaseCAMPers!

 

How was the first day of BaseCAMP? Hopefully, you met some fellow campers and have an overall sense of the InCommon Community and learned some fundamentals of Identity and Access Management. Before we begin Day 2, we want to share tips and information to help make your second day at BaseCAMP a success:

 

Social Time

Join the BaseCAMP Dining Hall (Zoom Room) at 11:30 am ET for our Trailhead Fuel up to hang with your fellow campers before sessions start. This is a completely optional networking space. Bring your coffee or tea and say hello! Thanks to our sponsors - Omnibond and Provision IAM - attendees who join this mingle session will be entered into a daily drawing to win a $20 DoorDash gift card! 

 

Scavenger Hunt

Congratulations to our first winner Clay Cooper from Rochester Institute of Technology! Join us in Slack tomorrow morning again at 11:30 am ET for your next list of camping essentials to search for. Like today, the first person to post a selfie in Slack with their 5 findings will win!

 

The Trivia Traverse

Get ready to test your knowledge! Tomorrow during the 1:55pm ET break in the BaseCAMP Dining Hall we will be hosting our first live trivia game! Join the live game to flex your IAM skills for a chance to win a daily prize!  You can use your mobile device or computer to access the game when the time comes.

 

Tuesday’s Lineup:

Starting at 12:00 pm ET (11 am CT | 10 am MT | 9 am PT) we will venture a little further into Identity and Access Management (IAM). We’ll dive into the following topic areas (all times ET):

• 12:00 - Welcome to Tuesday (updates, announcements, and tips)
• 12:15 - Building an IAM Program 
• 1:10 - Intro to TAP 101
• 2:05 - Decoding IAM Infrastructure Choices 
• 3:00 - Operations Field Guide
• 3:40 - CAMP Fires

 

These sessions will offer great context when it comes to IAM opportunities, challenges, tips, and insights. We’ll be covering a lot during these sessions, so we highly encourage you to be present, ask questions, and share what is currently happening at your institution! We are all here to learn from each other and build the community, and your voice is an important part of this conference experience.

 

Canvas

If you need a recap of what was discussed during our sessions today, we’ll be uploading slide decks and videos as quickly as possible into Canvas. 

 

As a reminder, resources, event schedules, and more can be found in Canvas as well, and we encourage you to click around so that you can become familiar with the content and layout.

 

Lingo

Don’t forget to slack us your acronym and terminology questions! Simply enter #BCLingo into Slack followed by the word or term you're unsure about. We'll provide you with an answer. Plus, chances are, others might be wondering the same thing! If you spot a term you're familiar with, jump in and contribute to the answers. Together, we'll compile a handy resource for everyone. 

 

First Aid - Slack Us

If you get lost or need assistance, please post a message in the Slack channel and someone will reply ASAP. This is also a great place to say hi, introduce yourself, and post thoughts about the conference.

 

Sponsors

Today was brought to you by our friends at Cirrus Identity. Please say hello to Dedra or her team on Slack!

 

See you all tomorrow. 

 

Cheers!

The BaseCAMP Team
