Frequently Asked Questions

Due to the number of applicants each year, not every submission will be selected; however, we’re always looking for creative ways to showcase identity thought leaders. Okta may contact you about using your submitted content/speakers in a combined session with other submissions (vs a standalone session) or as part of an Okta event outside of Oktane.

• Be straightforward: Give your submission a clear, concise title.
• Provide details: Thorough submissions are given priority, so please be as detailed as possible.
• Know your audience: Have a clear focus on attendees in a specific role.
  Offer actionable takeaways: Attendees want to learn lessons that make a tangible impact.
• Explain the "why": Clearly state why your presentation is interesting and what attendees will gain.
• Show, don't just tell: Share unique applications of an Okta product and demonstrate your success with results and metrics (e.g., efficiencies, ROI).
• Be authentic: The audience wants to hear original ideas, not a sales pitch.
• Make it engaging: Let us know how you plan to create an interactive and memorable session.

While we review every application, to ensure your proposal receives priority consideration, please include the following:

• Session overview: Title, abstract, outline, and a brief "elevator pitch."
• Delivery & engagement: Let us know you plan on engaging the audience and a YouTube link to a previous speaking engagement. (If you don't have one, a short video of you explaining your session idea is perfect!)
• Product & platform focus: Key topics and platforms covered, relevant Okta and/or Auth0 products you use
• Target audience: the intended audience (role, industry, region)
• Speaker participation logistics: Let us know if you are an Okta partner and if you have your company’s permission to speak
