Info: What does it actually take to go from "the new person" to an industry-recognized security professional — in the span of 12 months? Marian Clement did exactly that, and she's breaking down the playbook. This isn't a highlight reel; it's the real strategy behind building credibility fast: the certifications worth pursuing, the volunteer work that actually moves the needle, and the mentorship relationships that opened doors. If you're early in your security career and wondering how to stand out, start here.

Info: Think quick! If a hiring manager, client, or exec asked "so what do you do?", could you answer in a way that actually sticks? Most security professionals can't. This hands-on workshop puts you to work defining your niche and translating it into a sharp, memorable brand statement. And yes, we're also doing LinkedIn profile makeovers live. Come with your profile pulled up. Leave with a brand statement (and a LinkedIn presence) that works as hard as you do.

Info: Every security professional has been there: you know the risk like the back of your hand, but the exec's eyes glaze over three sentences in. This workshop is built to fix that. Ryan Stagno shares battle-tested techniques for translating technical security concepts into business language executives actually act on, plus how to walk into a room with confidence, whether it's a boardroom or a hallway conversation. If you've ever wanted a redo on a meeting with leadership, this session is for you.

Info: Behind almost every big career jump is one relationship nobody talks about. A mentor, a peer, a connection made at the right moment. This panel brings together security leaders from across industries to share the honest, unfiltered story of the relationship that changed everything for them, and more importantly, how they built it. Come for the stories. Leave with a clearer sense of who you should be reaching out to next.

Info: Featuring the day's speakers - Instead of a worksheet, you get the real thing. Our speakers post up around the room, and you choose who you want time with. Gather around the mentor you're most curious about, and fire off whatever's actually on your mind: career moves, tough calls they've made, how they'd handle a situation you're facing right now. Move to another circle when you're ready for a different perspective. This is the closest you'll get to a one-on-one with someone you admire, without waiting years to earn the meeting.
