At the Intersection of People and Security.
Learn from experts about the latest in security awareness, phishing campaigns, social engineering, behavioral science, managing human risk and more exciting topics!
Across two days, you’ll hear fresh perspectives that move beyond the basics, from preventing sextortion to the ins and outs of simulated phishing. Learn about the latest in behavioral science, insider threats and how to take your career to the next level.
The National Cybersecurity Alliance welcomes you to join peers who are tackling human risk from every angle – in the workplace, at home and in the community. Join us and connect, share and Convene.
Explore the intersection of people and security. Convene goes deeper. We dive into advanced yet practical topics that extend beyond training and awareness. Whether it’s tackling emerging scams, exploring new behavioral research or discussing the role of security in protecting families and communities, you’ll leave with ideas you haven’t heard before.
Learn. Hear from thought leaders, industry pioneers and peers who are redefining what security awareness can be. Sessions aren’t just theoretical. They’re filled with stories, lessons learned and practical takeaways you can apply immediately to your programs and your career.
Participate. This isn’t a passive conference. You’ll share your own successes and challenges, collaborate in workshops and crowdsource solutions with peers who have been where you are. We see you as a co-creator of the event – we even give you a chance to brag about your projects to the crowd!
Connect. Build relationships with people who care about security the way you do. From networking happy hours to informal discussions and live entertainment, Convene provides the space to connect, recharge and be inspired by a community that’s shaping the future of human risk management.
