I’ve been to 3 or 4 previous FutureCon CyberSecurity Events, but the 2025 Dallas edition knocked it out of the park. The House of Blues is a unique venue for a cybersecurity conference, but the venue actually works well. Brendon McCaulley gave a great keynote presentation at lunchtime, which is tough to do after a big meal. Shout out to Morgan Trust for a great job on his first presentation before a large audience.

I had the honor and privilege to share the stage with Ogechi Ugwulebo, MS, CISM, CCISO, Phillip Wylie, and James Carpenter, serving as the moderator for the afternoon CISO panel discussion.Kim Hakim should be proud of the success of this event, and we definitely missed her this year.
