PRESS RELEASE. WASHINGTON-(BUSINESS WIRE)-The inaugural Billington State and Local CyberSecurity Summit will be held on March 19-20, 2024 at the National Press Club in Washington, DC as well as virtually.
The two-day summit will convene the senior-most cyber leaders who will discuss cybersecurity issues and solutions for government entities at the state and local level.
State and local governments and the critical infrastructure they support are facing significant cyber-attacks.
In the last year, the state of Illinois, the city of Dallas, and the Los Angeles Unified School District have experienced cyber-attacks that impacted their day-to-day operations over multiple weeks.
These same governments are often massively under-resourced to protect themselves.
Government officials, tech leaders, and academia will be participating in Billington's two-day summit and sharing ways to enhance the cybersecurity of the states, counties, cities, and municipalities that comprise the U.S. and the critical infrastructure sectors.
The summit takes place at the National Press Club at 529 14th St NW, Washington, DC. To accommodate attendees from various states, the summit will also be offered virtually.
Credentialed working media are invited to cover in person or online.
All sessions are open to the press except the workshops that precede the event on March 19 and the roundtables at lunch on March 20.
Tickets range in price depending on type of business.
Attendees can receive continuing education credit from CompTIA and2.
