Termination> Apology. Diversity & Inclusion is not brand new, nor has it been well executed. This letter fixes nothing. Holding those who led this event accountable is the key. Most people know right from wrong & some still pick wrong. Replace those individuals who are capable of executing the pitiful task & painful situations.

First: Good apology from Palo Alto Networks and Nikesh Arora. Correctly hits the Regret, Reiteration, Responsibility, Repentance, Repair, and Request (for Forgiveness). If you wanted to quibble, you could assert that in Reiteration, harm acknowledgement is implied and not asserted, and in Request, Forgiveness is assumed and not requested; but as corporate apologies go, this is above and beyond what you generally see. Second: This is not isolated, I think. We eliminated booth babes at RSA Conference years ago (thank you to everyone involved in that). This was my first in-person BlackHat conference, and while I didn't see any booth babes, I did observe floorwalkers (before/after their shift, so I did not call it out without direct evidence, and stalking the attractive women in scanty outfits until I could do so seemed ... unseemly). I think it's time that we, as an industry, cut this out. So here is your easy standard, CMOs: if you are hiring external staff as part of a conference, whether it is to woman* your booth, glam up your party, or anything where they represent your company: you should apply the same gender diversity approach you want HR to apply to new hires. If you're hiring all women, that's just as much of a problem as if your company was only hiring men. Since this staff is going to represent your company, they should probably have the same demographics as your employees -- if your company is currently 80% male, then your outside event staff ... should be 80% male. *Yes, technically, we should switch the usual "man your booth" to "staff your booth," but let's be honest, you're all hiring women to glam up your booth. #inclusion #diversity

Get to know your Board of Directors Rob Sontag

How easy it is to listen to a great speaker like Kanella Salapatas. Wonderful case study of the QBE approach and highlighting her wonderful team, her interest in futurism, successes to date, and future road map. Very 'holistic' presentation.
