NICE K12 Cybersecurity Education Conference Update
We have an important update regarding the 2026 NICE K12 Cybersecurity Education Conference. Due to an unexpected and unavoidable delay in funding for this year’s conference, the conference host iKeepSafe has, in coordination with NICE, decided to reschedule the conference from its original December 2026 date to March 7-9, 2027, at the Royal Sonesta New Orleans Hotel in New Orleans, Louisiana.
The NICE K12 Cybersecurity Education Conference is happening! The NICE K12 Planning Committee is excited to welcome you to join us in New Orleans this coming March.
Rescheduling the conference gives attendees, speakers, partners, and sponsors the time needed to plan for the event while allowing us to deliver the high-quality conference experience our community has come to expect.
If you have already committed to participating as a speaker, sponsor, exhibitor, or partner, no action is needed at this time. iKeepSafe will be reaching out directly with additional information and next steps.
Updated hotel information, registration details, program deadlines, and other important dates will be shared soon. Please monitor your email and the NICE K12 Cybersecurity Education Conference website for updates.
Thank you for your patience and continued support as we make this transition. We are energized to move forward and look forward to bringing the K12 cybersecurity education community together in New Orleans in March 2027!
This event is supported by NICE, a program of the National Institute of Standards and Technology in the U.S. Department of Commerce, under financial assistance award #70NANB26H056.
