3:00 - 7:00 pm (Virtual Reality Gaming – Open Play)



Join Okta and AWS to experience the world's most advanced virtual reality (VR) gaming experience at Sandbox VR in Roseville, MN. We've rented out the entire facility, which includes multiple private Virtual Arenas, for four thrilling hours, giving you and up to three guests the opportunity to play multiple games at your own pace. Come and go as you please  – there's no rigid agenda!


As a special highlight, Donte DiVincenzo of the Minnesota Timberwolves will be stopping by for a meet-and-greet and will even be jumping in to play VR games with event attendees!

 

This event is designed to be family-friendly. Bring your co-workers, spouse or partner, kids (ages 8+ with a parent/guardian), or friends – we're happy to register up to three guests per primary attendee.

 

All participants will tackle socially immersive worlds combining full-body motion and unprecedented realism. Choose from an extensive catalog of popular titles like Squid Game, Deadwood Valley, and Stranger Things: Catalyst.


Recharge between gaming sessions with a self-serve station featuring gourmet meals and refreshing drinks, perfect for grabbing at your leisure.


Beyond the games, you'll have the option to explore dedicated demo stations featuring our Subject Matter Experts from Auth0 (for Customer Identity), Okta (for Workforce Identity), and our partners. They'll be available to discuss how to best protect your workforce and customers against identity-based attacks in an evolving threat landscape.


To make your experience even easier, Uber vouchers will be available to cover round-trip transportation to and from the venue (additional details can be seen below).


Space is limited, so sign up today and secure your spot!
