What was the most “paw-pular” attraction at Oktane 2025? Without a doubt, it was the Puppy Love Puppy Park! As trailblazers in bringing rescue puppies to corporate events, Puppy Love Party is all about creating joyful moments, melting stress, and helping deserving pups find their forever homes. At every gathering, 20% of proceeds go directly to local animal rescues, making each event a win-win for people and pets alike.

Thanks to the generous support of our wonderful sponsor, Serval, the Puppy Park stole the show just outside the main room at Caesar’s Forum on September 25th and 26th. Thousands of attendees passed through on their way to keynotes and expo sessions, but many simply couldn’t resist a pause for puppy snuggles before heading to their next stop. By sponsoring this crowd-favorite experience, Serval helped highlight the importance of joy, connection, and wellness as part of a thriving work culture.

We launched Oktane with eight irresistible pups from our friends at Wagging Tails Rescue: two fluffy Frenchies, three sweet Cane Corso sisters, and three spunky Chihuahua-Cavalier mixes. The Frenchies and Chihuahua mixes made fast friends with every guest, while the Cane Corsos melted hearts by snoozing contentedly in conference-goers’ laps. One attendee summed it up perfectly: “There is my serotonin boost for the day!”

The best news? Three of these pups, Toffee, Ms. Purple, and Ms. Pink, found their forever homes right from the forum floor! Unlike most conferences, where immediate adoptions are rare, Oktane 2025 saw attendees step up for our furry guests, meaning only five puppies made the return trip to their fosters, turning the Puppy Love Puppy Park into a life-changing experience for both pups and attendees. It’s proof that a little puppy joy at a corporate event can lead to some truly happy endings!

To top it all off, two of these four-legged superstars even made appearances on Oktane’s live broadcast feeds both Thursday and Friday, wagging their way into the spotlight at the AI security event of the year.
