The Diana Initiative 2022

Back for the 6th year,​ The Diana Initiative​ is hosting a two-day diversity-driven conference committed to helping all underrepresented genders, sexualities, races and cultures in Information Security. The Diana Initiative features multiple speaker tracks, fully expanded villages with hands-on workshops, and a women-led Capture the Flag event.

2022 event will take place on August 10th and 11th 2022 in Las Vegas.

We believe in the strength we find working together as allies. The changes we seek will come through unity and not divisiveness. Our event will foster empowerment, encourage initiative and create networking opportunities. While our website will contain the most up to date information, highlights of this year’s conference include:

Two speaker tracks

Engaging hands on events and challenges

Career village

Badge soldering and maker village

CTF village 

Registration opens at 7 AM Presentations begin at 9 AM

Note we ask for demographic information like your age, job title, and employer during the ticket process, as we do NOT sell or share our attendee lists we do need to provide sponsors with summarized demographic information in order to help them decide if our attendees are the right audience. Entering this data helps us to secure sponsors, please fill out the information. Also, feel free to put a generic answer such as "Fortune 500" or "startup" or "individual contributor" as that works just as well!

Please be aware all attendees will be added to our announcement email list - it is low traffic and is used to announce CFP dates, when the swag store opens etc that are relevant to all attendees. You can easily unsubscribe from it at any time but we recommend staying on through the event so you are informed of any important updates, such as any changes to COVID protocols or regulations.

You may optionally also choose to join our job seeker mailing list if you would like job postings from our sponsors.
