Special Conference Mentoring Program Opportunity
The 2017 Security Professionals Conference Program Committee is continuing the mentoring program—launched in 2013—for CISOs and other security or privacy professionals. Attendees interested in participating can sign up as a mentee (or mentor) by sending us a message. You will then receive a brief 3-question survey in order to find the best possible match.
Mentors and mentees will be matched prior to the conference and provided more information about next steps, which include organizing a one-on-one meeting at the conference in Denver. Several career development sessions and community building opportunities will also be included in the conference program, and anyone volunteering for this mentoring program is encouraged to attend the sessions suggested below.
