Why you Should Attend

Staying ahead of the curve of evolving security threats is imperative for any organization, and understanding the human element of cybersecurity is more critical than ever. Convene was launched by the National Cybersecurity Alliance to serve people who work at the intersection of people and security. It’s more than a conference; it is an unparalleled opportunity for security training and awareness professionals to gain critical insights, network with industry leaders, and learn about the latest advancements.

Attending Convene is a strategic investment for your personal development and your organization’s cybersecurity posture. We try to rotate locations around the country to reach as many people as possible – including you! Feel free to share this information with your boss to make the business case for why you need to Convene with us.

Expert-led sessions on cutting-edge topics

Convene conferences boast a lineup of experts who will delve into the most pressing issues in training and awareness today. You will learn the latest developments in awareness, phishing campaigns, social engineering, behavioral science, and managing human risk. These sessions are designed to equip attendees (and their organizations!) with actionable insights and practical strategies that can be immediately implemented. The opportunity to learn from leading minds in the field will ensure that you are at the forefront of cybersecurity trends and best practices.

Networking sessions, panel discussions, and social events are designed to foster meaningful connections, allowing you to exchange ideas, discuss solutions, and collaborate on future projects.
