GirlHackVillage Presents SquadCon highlights diverse contributions and experiences in cybersecurity. Addressing underrepresentation in the field, our conference provides an opportunity for attendees to learn about cybersecurity and hacking in a supportive and inclusive environment. Our goal is to “Con Differently.” With a focus on inclusivity, we promote diversity and inclusion within the cybersecurity community. SquadCon encourages speakers and panelists from diverse backgrounds and underrepresented groups to share their perspectives and experiences. And lastly, equally, we value and welcome the input of those entering the field as much as those who’ve been there for years. |
