iKeepSafe has announced a change to a virtual format for 2020 NICE K12 Cybersecurity Education Conference
6th Annual NICE K12 Cybersecurity Education Conference
Call for Presentations: Open April 1 – June 30, 2020
In an effort to be mindful of health concerns, travel restrictions, budget impacts, and based on the conference's continued commitment to equity and inclusion, the National Initiative for Cybersecurity Education (NICE) K12 Cybersecurity Education Conference will be reimagined to bring the community spirit and networking energy to an inspiring and engaging online space.
The Conference, previously slated to take place on December 7-8, 2020 in St. Louis, Missouri, will now be a virtual experience where attendees will engage with cutting-edge presentations, networking, and resources—all from the safety and comfort of their home or office. During this exciting virtual event, attendees will:
- Participate in live interactive breakout sessions led by industry experts
- Hear from inspiring keynote speakers
- Access recordings of other sessions presented during the conference
- Explore the virtual exhibitor hall, where they can schedule one-on-one meetings with exhibitors and discover the latest technologies, products and services
- Connect digitally with presenters and peers to network, share ideas, and discuss best practices
The Conference Call for Speakers is still open!
