Hear from Top Industry Leaders at Nationwide Cybersecurity Events

Both keynotes were amazing in their own way. The room was packed and there were people from all sizes of companies. It's a true testament to FutureCon getting so many people there they had ran out of the vendor squares and starting printing copies. That's the type of attendance I haven't seen in a LONG time. It's great to see the community getting together so we can all learn and grow together. On a personal note, I made some reconnections yesterday with some people I haven't seen in a long time. That was great and so were the new connections. Great job FutureCon CyberSecurity Events!

This year's conference was great; they seem to get better and bigger every year and it's always a highlight to attend IRL.

They say Chicago is the city of broad shoulders, but after yesterday’s FutureCon CyberSecurity Events, I’d argue it’s the city of sharp minds. Despite the January chill, the energy was electric. It’s a rare thing to get this many practitioners in one room who are equally committed to dismantling silos and building sturdier fortresses. The most sophisticated firewall in the world is useless without the human intelligence behind it. Yesterday wasn’t just about the tech stack; it was about the collective wisdom of a community that refuses to be outpaced by the threat landscape. If you missed it, you missed the blueprint for the year ahead. 🧠 Elite speaker insights on the shifting threat horizon ⚡ Real-time collaboration between C-suite and practitioners 🎓 Tactical takeaways for the 2026 security roadmap 🔍 Strengthening the local Chicago tech ecosystem

FutureCon Chicago was incredible. Big thanks to the entire FutureCon CyberSecurity Events team for creating an environment where security leaders can actually connect and learn from each other. You made it easy to have the hard conversations about identity controls, risk quantification, and what's actually working in the field.

Attending FutureCon Los Angeles for the 4th time. It’s always a great opportunity to connect with other security professionals and stay current on evolving threats, security operations, and new technologies.

FutureCon has provide me, and many members of our County IT team, with an indispensable opportunity to not only understand emerging innovations, evolving risks, and changes in the technology landscape, but also provides an avenue to collaborate with industry peers while gaining exposure to vendors which can offer additional solutions for those seeking change. Each conference offers continuing professional education (CPE) credits which has been critical to keeping our team’s technical certifications in good standing. The option of virtual or in-person attendance, with multiple conferences held throughout the year, has made this a convenient, low cost option for any organization.

I'm very excited to attend and hope to speak to you then. I looked over the Speakers listed, and I want to thank you for inviting other women speakers to the conference. Representation in our industry is something I value, and inspires me to better myself in my career. I'm looking forward to hearing more of their experiences and to connecting.

As you may recall at the end of the event, the panel discussion switched over to securing AI applications. Folks wanted to wait on public policy... I piped up and pointed out that the people in that very room were the experts, not the government. "You can find out more about how to build a house at the carpenters convention, than in a government board room." Aside from ongoing cyber security work, I also am a primary investigator on a Dark Matter project. We built a high performance research grade cluster computer system for that work (modeling and simulation of the early universe). After finishing, my wife and I discussed the Baltimore panel discussion, and decided to start a Rag/Cag AI business (retrievement/context augmented generation).  That is building high end expert AI systems up to 70B - Q8. This is well within the reach of a vast machine like we now have.  We then bought www.ethical-llm.com and are setting that up now. The whole AI part started at your event in Baltimore. I made the security issue our problem there, then my own problem later. So  - your event was the catalyst for the computer and AI work, which also doubled into astrophysic success on Dark Matter. Your event is the only one I attend, and I just love it.

I was very impressed with the virtual conference as a first-time attendee. I’ve participated in virtual conferences hosted by other organizations in the past and this one outshines them all!
