Chicago Virtual Cybersecurity Summit 2021 | Data Connectors Cybersecurity Community | 20 April 2020 | Virtual Event

Data Connectors has facilitated the collaboration between cybersecurity professionals and solution providers. Today, the community is comprised of over 650,000 members and 200 active vendor partners. Members enjoy informative education from industry luminaries, innovative solution providers and government agencies such as the FBI, InfraGard, US Secret Service and the Department of Homeland Security. Data Connectors brings live conferences to over 40 cities across North America each year, and also provides interactions with the community via virtual conferences, Web Briefings, and regular communications.

Virtual Summits
Data Connectors has invested in a fully immersive virtual event platform, which provides every facet of our in-person conferences that can be facilitated online:
• Real-time speaking sessions, live keynotes and presenter Q&A Panels
• Moderated CISO Panel
• Solutions Showcase with interactive Virtual Exhibit Booths

Our virtual events have seen audiences two to three times larger than the commensurate in-person conferences, with great audience interaction, and more vendor partner solution provider and peer-to-peer networking than ever before.
