The Borderless Office: Identity and Access in the World of Remote-First Growth

Join Antoine Jebara (Co-founder, JumpCloud) and Noah Landow (Founder and CEO, Macktez) for an informal conversation between an expert on scaling global technology companies and the evolution of identity and access management and the founder of a technology consulting firm. In an era defined by remote work and the rapid rise of agentic AI, the concepts of identity and security are shifting beneath our feet. As AI agents begin to act on our behalf, how do we maintain control, responsibility, and security? If an AI agent executes a transaction or accesses a database, who is truly holding the keys? Antoine brings a unique perspective from the front lines of this transition, from pioneering decentralized 2FA and password management at MYKI to driving global strategy and partner ecosystems at JumpCloud. Join us at the Macktez office, after work, over light snacks and sips, for an exploratory conversation on the challenges of scaling fast-growing global companies and how different security architectures impact our long-term safety in a cloud-first world. We will dive into the shifting landscape of encryption, the unique hurdles of managing remote-first organizations, and what it truly means to "identity" ourselves in the age of AI.Photography, audio, and video recording may occur at this event and by attending you consent to such recording media and its release, publication, exhibition, or reproduction.Event StructureWe ask that guests arrive between 7-7:30 pm to minimize disruption during the talk.7 pm - Doors open, opportunity to mingle over snacks and sips with other attendees7:30 pm - Guests take their seats for the talk8:15 pm - Informal mixer resumesOn AttendanceWe have a limited capacity.
