The Cybersecurity Meetup 2024 – Windsor: Fostering Community and Talent
The Cybersecurity Meetup 2024 – Windsor, hosted by siberX, provided an evening of high-value networking and professional insights for the local cybersecurity community. Held on March 6, 2024, at the scenic St. Clair Centre for the Arts, the event was strategically timed to run alongside a local hackathon, successfully bridging the gap between emerging student talent and established industry leaders.
Core Themes and Highlights
The event focused heavily on community building, talent development, and executive perspective. The core of the evening was structured around two key areas:
Executive Panel and Q&A: A dedicated hour was reserved for an “Unfiltered with Executive Panel,” followed by an Open Q&A session. This format provided attendees—which included emerging cybersecurity professionals from colleges and universities—direct access to senior leaders for candid insights on industry challenges, career pathways, and the current state of cyber defense.
Networking and Talent Integration:
The central theme was connection. By linking the meetup to a co-located hackathon, the event aimed to create an unmissable experience for students and professionals to connect with emerging talent from across Canada. The extensive networking session that followed the panel facilitated genuine connections between academic, corporate, and government security professionals.
Venue:
The St. Clair Centre for the Arts, perched along the Windsor riverfront, offered a state-of-the-art facility with scenic views, enhancing the exclusive and engaging atmosphere for the evening’s discussions and community building.
