BlackGirlsHack presents SquadCon ‘24: Play to Win; GHV in 2022, and now we are back again!

FREDRICKSBURG, Va. , April 24 /Businesswire/ - The highly anticipated SquadCon is back, and it’s bigger, bolder, and more secure than ever! After a successful inaugural event last year, we are excited to announce the second edition of this premier cybersecurity gathering. SquadCon 2024: Play to Win promises to be a must-attend event for professionals, researchers, and enthusiasts.

SquadCon continues to bring a wealth of experience, perspectives, stories, and knowledge from professionals at all career levels. We can't wait to start announcing the outstanding line-up of speakers and topics we'll bring to SquadCon 2024. As Tennisha Martin, the Chair of BlackGirlsHack, aptly stated, "We started SquadCon to create a space for underrepresented communities that felt 'othered' in existing cybersecurity conferences but SquadCon is more than that. With the support of our sponsors and our community, SquadCon 2024, our third conference represents what the cybersecurity industry should be. SquadCon provides representation, visibility, and networking opportunities, along with a breadth of perspectives that can only be achieved by bringing diverse minds together to discuss diverse topics."
