What is an OUG leader?
OUG leaders are Okta customers and advocates just like you. They volunteer their time to make every meeting an amazing experience. Their Okta expertise spans from beginner to advanced.
What does an OUG leader do?
- Schedule and plan regular meetings (at least 4 per year)
- Host the event at your office or find a local venue
- Make sure meetings are welcoming, interesting, and full of relevant content (Okta can help with this)
- Help grow the Okta community, including mentoring new OUG leaders
- Help rally attendees by inviting your peers and other Okta customers, and by sending out the agenda in advance
Why should I become an OUG leader?
It’s a great opportunity to build your social network, establish your expertise, and get cred for your contributions.
How will Okta help me run these things?
You’re not alone in planning your meetings. To show our appreciation, we’ll hook you up with:
- An OUG leader mentor to coach you through the setup process and to brainstorm ideas
- Promotional tools and channels to build your local community
- An attendee base that draws from our local customers
- Money to buy food and drink for every event
- A free ticket to Oktane, our annual user conference—as long as you hit that 4-per-year mark
- More surprise perks
