Oktane is Okta’s flagship identity conference in San Francisco, a multi‑day gathering where security, IT, and developer leaders shape the future of workforce and customer identity. Centered in SoMa and typically hosted at Moscone West (747 Howard St), it blends visionary keynotes, deep technical content, and hands‑on labs focused on zero trust, passwordless, and modern identity architecture.
Oktane serves CISOs, security architects, IAM admins, IT ops leaders, product managers, and developers building with OAuth, OIDC, SAML, SCIM, FIDO2/WebAuthn, and identity‑driven access controls. It’s equally valuable for business leaders evaluating identity’s role in customer experience, compliance, and M&A integration.
Across Moscone West, expect mainstage keynotes from Okta leadership and guest technologists, roadmap reveals for Workforce Identity Cloud and Customer Identity Cloud (Auth0 by Okta), and real‑world case studies from enterprises migrating off legacy directories and federation stacks. The program typically spans breakouts by track (security, platform, developer, customer identity), hands‑on labs in guided environments, and an Expo featuring Okta product demos and an ecosystem of ISV and systems‑integrator partners. A developer day often spotlights SDKs, APIs, policy engine patterns, and best practices for resilient auth flows, bot defense, and progressive profiling.
Register early for limited‑capacity labs and developer sessions—they fill quickly. Build your agenda around contiguous tracks if you’re evaluating a specific journey (for example, passwordless rollout or B2C sign‑in modernization). Moscone West is steps from SoMa transit; use BART/Muni to Powell St. Station and walk, or rideshare to 747 Howard St to avoid parking constraints. Bring a government‑issued ID for badge pickup, and plan device security (screen locks, YubiKeys) if you’ll test hardware‑based MFA. For the latest agenda, speaker lineup, and on‑site policies, refer to Okta’s official Oktane website.
