SUMMARY:ChiBrrCon 2026 CFP Open
DESCRIPTION:ChiBrrCon is Chicago’s premier vendor-free\, practitioner-driven\, nonprofit security conference where community\, creativity\, and technical excellence come together. Born from the icy winds of the Midwest winter\, ChiBrrCon delivers high-quality technical talks\, interactive villages\, and engaging leadership discussions—all without vendor sales pitches. \nThe theme for 2026 is Artificial Intelligence.  AI isn’t going anywhere (unless it replaces humans first). So yes\, bring your hottest AI takes\, but don’t worry—non-AI talks are still encouraged\, because cybersecurity is way bigger than just robots pretending to be smart. \n  \nSubmit your CFP HERE

SUMMARY:WiCyS | CyberSecurity Awareness Month 2025
DESCRIPTION:In recognition of Cybersecurity Awareness Month\, Women in CyberSecurity (WiCyS) has developed a toolkit to share with our community.  This toolkit includes free and effective tools that individuals can use to mobilize the community\, raise cyber awareness and promote proper cyber hygiene to reduce cyber risk. \nSince 2004\, the President of the United States and Congress have declared October to be Cybersecurity Awareness Month.  The goal of this month is to help individuals protect themselves online as threats to technology and confidential data become more commonplace. The Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA) and the National Cybersecurity Alliance (NCA) lead a collaborative effort between government and industry to raise cybersecurity awareness nationally and internationally. \n  \nPlease view all of the resources and download the 2025 Toolkit HERE

SUMMARY:WiCyS | DIRC25: Merit + Inclusion
DESCRIPTION:Now in its eighth year\, the DIRC series remains the premier forum for bridging rigorous research and real-world application in the pursuit of more inclusive and successful organizations. DIRC25 marks a bold evolution. In response to today’s increasingly polarized climate\, we are reframing the conversation around two universally relevant priorities: Merit and Inclusion. \n\n\n\n\n\nThis year’s focus will be on Merit + Inclusion.\nMerit—when clearly defined and supported by data—ensures that opportunity and advancement are based on capability and contribution\, not identity. Inclusion ensures that nothing interferes with an individual’s ability to contribute fully in the workplace. Together\, these principles form the foundation of high-performance organizations where everyone can thrive. \nThrough TED-style talks\, disruptive conversations\, multidisciplinary panels\, and innovative research presentations\, DIRC25: M+I brings together thought leaders\, researchers\, and practitioners from across sectors to explore how organizations can measure and enhance both merit and inclusion in meaningful\, actionable ways\, to create true meritocracies for all. \n\n\n  \nRegister HERE and use code D25-WICYS for a 20% discount
