Why you Should Attend

Understanding the human element of cybersecurity has never been more critical. Convene is built for professionals who work at the intersection of people and security — offering critical insights, industry connections and the latest advancements in the field, all in one place.

Expert-led sessions on cutting-edge topics

Convene's agenda is packed with thought leaders and industry executives sharing real-world case studies — the latest in awareness, phishing, social engineering, behavioral science and human risk management. Sessions are built for action: practical strategies and lessons learned that you can apply the moment you're back at the office. 

Networking with industry leaders

Convene brings together a close-knit community of training and awareness professionals from business, government, law enforcement and academia. With few chances for this kind of in-person connection, our networking sessions, panels and social events are designed to help you build real relationships, trade ideas and collaborate long after the conference ends. 

Exposure to innovative solutions

Browse a curated group of exhibitors showcasing the latest tools and technologies — and creative ways to reach people where they are.  

Learn best practices from thought leaders

Every Convene’s agenda is jam-packed with experts. Dozens of thought leaders attend each conference. Thought leaders and industry executives will share their experiences, including both successes and challenges, from their campaigns. These real-world case studies provide valuable lessons and practical insights that can be applied to your organization’s cybersecurity efforts. Learning from the experiences of others will help your organization avoid pitfalls and enhance the effectiveness of your initiatives.

Build camaraderie and foster innovation

The immersive nature of Convene is designed to build camaraderie among attendees twice a year. Engaging with like-minded professionals in a focused environment breeds innovation and sparks new ideas. The collaborative atmosphere encourages sharing knowledge and experiences, leading to creative solutions and new approaches to cybersecurity challenges. The connections and friendships formed at Convene can lead to long-term professional relationships and ongoing collaboration.

Brag about your org and get speaking experience

Every agenda includes a "Security Share + Brag" session, where you can take the mic and tell the room about a win or tool worth sharing — and get a taste of conference speaking along the way. 

Convene is a great value
