Pax8 understands better than anyone that innovation doesn’t happen in a vacuum. In fact, we’re known for our ability to create momentum for our partners, which is why we created Beyond 2023 in the first place.

One of the biggest takeaways from day one occurred during the keynote address from Pax8 Chief Commerce Officer Nick Heddy and Canalys Chief Analyst Jay McBain: Pax8 is now in a strategic partnership with CrowdStrike.
