Tech company apologizes for event in Las Vegas featuring "branded lampshade-wearing hostesses"



The letter from the CEO starts:
Let me begin with a sincere apology for a recent marketing decision at an event hosted by Palo Alto Networks during Black Hat in Las Vegas. The misguided attempt to welcome guests with branded lampshade-wearing hostesses was not consistent with our values. I appreciate you not judging us on this isolated event, and I want to reassure you of our continued commitment to and celebration of inclusion and diversity.
