Friends,
When the Day of Shecurity 2021 Virtual Conference went live this week on March 23, 2021, it was electric! Knowledge was shared by cybersecurity women of varying experience across five(5) Technical and Emotional Intelligence tracks, with a strong vibe of Sisterhood and ally-ship throughout the event. We had over 1700 women register from 53 countries (making Day of Shecurity a truly international experience), over 75 speakers, and nearly 50 sponsors, who have shared over 100 jobs for which they would love team members that represent inclusion! The average attendee gave our event a 9.1 rating, out of 10 and spent over 5 and a half hours watching content and participating. We logged 990 poll responses, 723 sponsor booth visits, over 6,500 booth visitor interactions for our sponsors, and an incredible 8,000+ chat messages sent throughout the conference.
Here’s a copy of the opening remarks from myself and Brenley Brotman, Senior Director, Global Recruiting, from Day of Shecurity Co-Founding Partner Lookout, delivering opening remarks and the #Shecurity2021 mission:
The next event will be this year 2021, with a date to be announced soon. More women need the opportunity to speak publicly, experience sisterhood within their careers, and give back to others who want to learn and join our industry!
Thank you to every single human who participated in making this event happen. Know that you are a social servant and that you have had a tremendous impact on many women's lives. Thank you everyone for giving and participating. We will have well over 100 hours of content captured and available to share very soon. All talks will be on YouTube with a big social media campaign to promote our inspiring speakers.
Be sure to follow Day of Shecurity on LinkedIn and Twitter for all the latest updates.
Thank you for coming together in support and love,
Deidre

3 年One of the best virtual events I have ever attended. I had the opportunity to connect with several wonderful women. Jameeka Green Aaron, Quintana Patterson (She/Her) and Terra Cooke. Thank you ladies for your encouraging words, taking time out to speak to me, and giving me the motivation to think about the future. ??
