Lookout Security in Toronto is hosting an exciting event on January 12 2018 for women who are interested in  cybersecurity, and currently in the tech field.  I am honoured to have been asked to be the keynote speaker at this event. This will be my first keynote! I love that this happens with something I really care about: encouraging women in tech, specifically in cybersecurity.

This is what it’s all about.  Encourage learning, growth and opportunity. Events like these grow far beyond the one day they are held, as I can attest from my work with The Diana Initiative. Friendships form, bonds are made, contacts and networking happen. It’s all good!

This is going to be a fantastic and fun day of learning. You had me at reverse engineering! What a great opportunity. Thank you Lookout!

TiaraCon 2017 – Alliances!

YES! TiaraCon 2017 is a thing and  I will be part of this wonderful event again this year. July 27-28 in Vegas. We want to celebrate and encourage women and diversity in our field. We’ve heard moving stories about how attendees were inspired to go for their dreams, and to feel safe and accepted. This time we are at a new location, to be close to DefCon and where the action is: Caesar’s Palace Hotel.

Updates: Our first CFP was a tremendous success and all the acceptances have been issued. Now I must do the hardest part, which is send out the rejection letters. I’ll be crafting those carefully, because people really deserve to hear thank you.

Funding: It takes a lot to make change happen. Any amount helps us to make a difference. Visit our GoFundMe

Registration: Visit our site and sign up otherwise you won’t be able to get in. And you know you want that tiara 🙂
