This is your community. Your conference. Let’s talk about what you need from it.

Join Gianna Whitver, CEO & Co-Founder, and Jen, Head of Community and Growth, for an open conversation at CyberMarketingCon about what’s next for the Society—and what you’d like to see us build, improve, or do differently.

What’s been most valuable to you? Where could we do more? What’s missing from your professional world that this community could help solve? From educational programs and career support to local meetups, peer connections, and resources that make your job easier, we want to hear what would make the biggest difference.

This is a conversation, not a presentation. Whether you’ve been part of the Society for years or are just getting to know us, your perspective belongs in the room. Your feedback will help guide how we support cybersecurity marketers year-round—not just during conference week.

Bring your honest feedback, your big ideas, and anything that starts with “I wish the Society would…”
