Description

The West Coast Summit will bring together technology and security leaders in Silicon Valley. The summit extends the success of the inaugural ICMCP National Conference held in Washington DC in March and the earlier DC Town Hall meeting hosted by Congresswoman Sheila Jackson. It will provide another opportunity to raise the dialogue on the necessary strategic, tactical and operational imperatives needed to attract and develop minority cybersecurity practitioners.

During the one-day summit, security thought leaders will hold a series of expert panel and audience-driven discussions, and examine ways to further the inclusion of underrepresented minorities in cybersecurity.
