Over the last few weeks, we\u2019ve moved to an entirely virtual model, including taking our Executive Briefing Program online and holding over 200 events remotely. It\u2019s been great to see the engagement and feedback as we\u2019ve jumped into these sessions together.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">With health and safety remaining our top priority, we have made the decision to pivot all Palo Alto Networks-hosted events to virtual for the remainder of 2020. This includes our:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Employee-focused Sales Kickoff from August 24-27<br \/>\n<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Federal Ignite program from October 13-15\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Ignite Conference from November 9-12\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Local EMEA Ignite Conference from November 16-18\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">While we\u2019ll join each other virtually rather than face to face, some things will not change. Our Federal Ignite program, for example, will continue to bring together leading government, cybersecurity and industry professionals, and our Ignite Conferences in November will deliver advanced cybersecurity experiences for our customers and partners.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Taking these events online presents us with new opportunities to involve more customers and partners. We\u2019ve been thrilled to see thousands of you participate in a recent <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.crowdcast.io\/e\/containerolympics\/register\" rel=\"nofollow,noopener\" ><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Cloud Native Security virtual summit<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> and our Joint Service Academy Cybersecurity Summit (JSAC) that we host annually to bring together <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">cybersecurity leaders across military, government, academia and industry<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">We remain very much in touch with our customers and partners, and look forward to more great discussions at our future webinars and virtual forums.
