Roni Habib is a speaker, author, and expert in helping leaders, educators, and parents become happier, more resilient, more connected to their purpose, and more playful. The founder of EQ Schools, he speaks and leads workshops in organizations nationally and abroad. His dynamic keynotes leave audiences laughing, insightful, elevated, and inspired to take action.

Early in his career, Roni struggled with the high stresses and demands of teaching, even losing touch with why he wanted to be a teacher in the first place.

In the last decade with EQ Schools, Roni has taught and inspired thousands of Teachers, Principals, Superintendents, Administrators, Business Leaders, and Parents.

As cyber threats escalate in speed and sophistication, the security landscape demands advanced knowledge through awareness, activation, and improved practice. This is where Dewayne Hart works best. He is an all-cyber professional who believes cybersecurity is no longer just a technical issue — it is a leadership, mindset, and quality-of-life challenge that shapes how we live, work, and connect.

Known for delivering common-sense strategies and actionable roadmaps, Hart helps businesses and citizens stay proactive against rapidly evolving threat actors in an increasingly digital world. At the core of his approach is a simple but powerful idea: to defend effectively, people must learn to think like adversaries. He equips his audiences with the knowledge, resources, and tools to put on a "Hacker's Hat," enabling them to anticipate threats before they become incidents.

Hart has lived the operator-to-leader path he teaches. Over twenty years in the U.S. Navy, he rose from maintaining computer systems and weapons-defense platforms to leading information-security efforts — experience that shaped his mission-focused discipline and operational approach to the field. In 2014, he founded Secure Managed Instructional Systems, LLC (SEMAIS), a Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Business specializing in cybersecurity advisory and workforce development, guided by its motto: "Sustaining 360-Degree Cyber Visibility." He holds the CISSP, CEH, CGRC, and CND certifications and a Master of Science in Information Assurance, and has strengthened cyber and workforce programs across the DoD and federal government, including the U.S. Army, Defense Logistics Agency, and Department of Veterans Affairs.

A recognized voice in the cybersecurity community, Hart hosts the Chief of Cybersecurity platform, where he explores how security directly affects everyday digital life. His work spans artificial intelligence, cybersecurity leadership, cyber awareness, workforce modernization, and cybercrime — bridging technical realities with leadership accountability. He is the author of two books examining how mindset and leadership, not just technology, shape digital safety: The Cybersecurity Mindset: A Virtual and Transformational Thinking Mode, which challenges readers to rethink risk and resilience, and Cybersecurity Leadership: How to Develop a Successful Mentality and Win, which examines how leadership decisions and culture influence security outcomes.

From the National Cybersecurity Summit to the Incyber Forum, Techno Security & Digital Forensics, GovTechCon, Capitol Technology University, and AFCEA conferences nationwide, Hart has inspired executives, practitioners, and students alike. Through his advisory, speaking, and writing, he equips security teams with the foresight to transform cybersecurity from a reactive technical task into a definitive strategic advantage.

Capitol Technology University — Leadership Success Before the Attack

My journey has been largely around technology, digital skills, education and using technology to solve practical problems.

Through Soteria Technologies, I have had the opportunity to work on initiatives around digital literacy, education technology, ICT infrastructure, Internet governance and community digital access.

But one thing I have learned is that having a good technology solution is only one part of the journey.

You also have to understand the people you are serving, build relationships, manage resources, find sustainable ways to operate, build partnerships and create systems that allow the work to continue.

That is why I chose this topic.

I want us to look beyond the excitement of building the product and talk about what it really takes to turn that product into a functioning and sustainable organization.

Connar McCasland is an instructor at the University of West Florida Center for Cybersecurity. Her career spans public and private sectors, particularly excelling in cybersecurity for county and city government entities. Before her teaching career, she held a leadership role in local government, where she spearheaded a county’s cybersecurity program. There, she led and organized significant cybersecurity projects and assisted smaller government offices with their cybersecurity programs. While in this role, employees often told her that cybersecurity was “only IT’s problem” and “too difficult to understand.” Since then, she has made it her mission to show people how critical cybersecurity is in the current digital age and make it accessible and easy to understand. Before working for the Center, she worked for Texas A&M Engineering Extension Service (TEEX), where she traveled across the U.S. and its territories, training IT departments, emergency management, first responders, and average citizens in cybersecurity and cyber preparedness. Beyond her professional achievements, Connar actively works to empower and promote other IT and cybersecurity professionals, participating in international organizations such as ISACA and Women in Cybersecurity (WiCyS). She holds a B.A.S. in Cybersecurity from Pensacola State College and an M.S. in Information Assurance and Cybersecurity with a specialization in Network Defense from Capella University. She serves on the Board of Directors for the nonprofit IT Gulf Coast and is the Social Media Coordinator for the WiCyS Florida Affiliate.

She brings more than two decades of experience across Air Force mission operations, enterprise cybersecurity leadership, Big Tech incident response, red-team operations, and cybercrime prevention. Joanna began her career as an Air Force Interface Control Technician supporting operations during Operation Enduring Freedom and Operation Iraqi Freedom.
