Empowerment in the Heartland: Uniting for Inclusion and Diversity in Cyber Leadership

In the expansive realm of cybersecurity, where 407,000 job openings stand alongside numerous supportive groups, the journey to finding one's rightful place remains a challenge. Amid networking and effort, the struggle endures and sometimes, those of us who intend to help, end up simply adding to more noise on the airwaves. This panel unites four community organizers, professionals from the infosec community and leaders of Chicago-based security non-profits and chapters - all representing diverse sectors of inclusion in the cybersecurity. Together, we will unveil our collaborative approach, steering away from competition. The evolving landscape offers boundless prospects and by uniting as a city, we aim to forge a blueprint that empowers emerging and existing cyber talent, and orchestrates remarkable events. Let's chart a path that elevates not only Chicago, but one that serves as a model for other cities to follow.
