Greetings BaseCAMPers!

 

We hope you found that Tuesday was full of insightful tidbits and engaging presentations about getting to know the TAP components,  building an IAM program, and tips on making infrastructure choices. We are gearing up for Day 3 and can’t wait to have you join us tomorrow.

 

Social Time

As a reminder, we will open up our BaseCAMP Dining Hall (Zoom Room) at 11:30 am ET, before the day’s sessions start. This is a completely optional networking space. Bring your coffee or tea and say hello before we dive into the day’s program! 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 today’s winner Andrew Keyser, from Digital Research Alliance of Canada!! We’ll be back at it tomorrow - 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

Gear up for tomorrow’s challenge ! During the 1:55pm ET break in the BaseCAMP Dining Hall we will be hosting a 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.

 

Wednesday’s Lineup:

Starting at 12:00 pm ET (11 am CT | 10 am MT | 9 am PT) After opening remarks from Kevin, we will venture into paired sessions on two IAM concepts and TAP components as well as diving into Federation. Wednesday’s lineup looks like this:

• 12:00 - Welcome to Wednesday (updates, announcements, and tips)
• 12:15 - CONCURRENT SESSIONS:

o    Understanding Identity Registry Basics

o    Anatomy of Identity Registry with COmanage

• 1:10 - CONCURRENT SESSIONS:

o    Federated Authentication Fundamentals

o    Unlocking Authentication with Shibboleth

• 2:05 - Essentials of Federation & Identity Assurance
• 3:00 - How IAM & Security Intersect
• 3:40 - CAMP Fires

 

Having trouble deciding? No problem! Simply choose the session that best matches your interest. Understanding Identity Registry Basics and Federated Authentication Fundamentals will focus on the functional essentials that you need to know about each, while Anatomy of Identity Registry with COmanage and Unlocking Authentication with Shibboleth are a more technical look at the concept and an introduction to the software component. You’ll have the opportunity to watch the recorded sessions for anything you missed at a later time. 

 

CAMP Fires

Remember to join a CAMP Fire after the sessions (starting at 3:40pm ET) for more opportunity to connect with other campers! Check in Canvas for the themed CAMP Fire descriptions and join one that’s calling you.

 

Canvas

Canvas is truly your best friend at this conference. Resources, event schedules, and more can be found in Canvas. You’ll find all of the recordings and slide decks there later, too.

 

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.
