“So many of us are starving for K-12 cyber resources, and putting so many of us in the same room was one of the best events I’ve been a part of.”
“I just wanted to reach out to say thank you again for an amazing conference. My team and I all agreed that was by far one of our best conferences any of us have ever attended.”
“I encountered a group of individuals who were exceptionally friendly, helpful, and willing to share both their successes and challenges. Every table I joined was occupied by engaging professionals from across the US, setting aside politics and geography to discuss the common goal of cyber resilience. Despite the abundance of acronyms and technical jargon in our sector, I was reminded of our core mission: not to protect ‘data’ but to protect the safety of the children and colleagues we serve.”
“Grateful for the chance to share, learn, and collaborate with the best in K-12 cybersecurity. Looking forward to keeping the momentum going!”
