English term or phrase: badges and biases
On May 25th and 26th, key stakeholders and innovators from XX, XXX, XX and XXX came together in Dallas for a ‘White Smoke’ meeting, to define a strategy to accelerate our technology and data offering and facilitate greater integration across the X group of companies.
Led by our Global CTO, Matt X, it was an intense couple of days where we shed our respective badges and biases, and challenged what we do now vs what we believe is possible, resulting in a future-facing but practical plan of action to take to XX

Explanation:
My understanding:
The objective of this meeting was to reach a consensus between companies of a an integrated group.
The term "badge" illustrates the company of origin of each employee, which I translate here as "appartenance". I guess that "affiliation" could work as well.

agree  Tony M: That's my understanding too — though of course I'm not qualified to comment on the actual formulation in FR ;-) 'Badge' might also mean 'role in the company' — i.e. with no name-badge, the MD is on the same level as the shop-floor worker.
