Raíces Cyber Org Presents RaícesCon 2024: Shaping the Future of Cybersecurity
Celebrate diversity and innovation in cybersecurity at RaícesCon 2024, featuring expert speakers, hands-on workshops, and networking opportunities.
RaicesCon 2024 promises to be a vibrant celebration of diversity in cybersecurity careers. The event will highlight the achievements of the Google Workforce Development program, the White House Cyber Workforce Council3, and partnerships with top-tier organizations such as CISA, SentinelOne, and more. The conference will feature multiple learning tracks tailored for entry-level cybersecurity hopefuls, students, seasoned professionals, and will include several CTF (Capture The Flag) challenges. Last year, over $50,000 in prizes were awarded to winners across various events.
The highlight of Saturday night will be the presentation of the Raices Seguras Cyber Awards, honoring cyber practitioners and organizations dedicated to increasing diversity and inclusion in the field. The evening will also feature a silent auction and the presentation of the Second Annual Dawn Bird Scholarships. These scholarships are awarded to exceptional Latin American and Hispanic students pursuing degrees in cybersecurity, named in honor of Dawn Bird, a former cybersecurity executive who tragically passed away in a car accident in 2022.
The Gala will host an engaging Silent Auction with a diverse selection of thrilling items available for bidding. Attendees will have the opportunity to participate in this dynamic auction via a mobile app, ensuring an interactive and exciting experience.
RaicesCon 2024 is set to be an inspiring event, providing opportunities to celebrate, network, and connect with cybersecurity professionals from all backgrounds.
