Hey Retrievers,
If you're into Cyber security (or curious to explore the field), here's an opportunity you don't want to miss: WiCyS 2026, taking place March 11-13, 2026, at the Gaylord National Harbor Resort & Convention Center in Oxon Hill, MD (just outside Washington D.C.).
WiCyS is a premier conference for women and allies in Cyber security. Attendees will get access to:
- Keynotes, workshops, technical talks, and panels.
- A career fair with top companies recruiting.
- Networking sessions, poster opportunities, and more!
The conference is a powerful way to boost your skills, expand your network, and showcase UMBC's talent on a national stage.
But here's the catch: There's no open student registration — you must receive a scholarship to attend.
Scholarship applications are open now and will close on October 15, 2025 at 5 PM CT.
Applications offer benefits such as reduced registration, shared lodging for two nights, and if selected — limited travel stipends.
