Conferences, workshops, lunch-and-learns, and more benefit in many ways by including specialized experts as presenters:

• Expertise and Authority: Not only does the audience benefit from the quality of information shared but the event also gains credibility.
• Thought-Leadership: By including known-experts, attendees will see your organization as a leader in the industry. 
• Value Addition: Conferences and lunch-and-learns are about more than just a free meal and swag, right?  By utilizing expert speakers, participants are offered new insights and strategies that will allow them to impact their organization positively.
• Networking Opportunities: Attendees have the opportunity to engage with an expert in their field which allows targeted guidance and exchange of ideas.
• Engaging Presentation: Being an SME does not necessarily equal being a great presenter.  Our team of presenters are passionate and use real-world examples to engage the audience.

"The real value in presenting is helping to address issues that may feel less urgent yet are still important. Whether it’s helping to collaborate with others on emerging problems like AI-based spoofing, or exhorting each other on the day-to-day fundamentals of patching, bringing awareness to an issue makes it more likely to receive the attention it needs. My presentations may throw just a tiny bit of weight towards helping secure our industries and country, but I’m glad to be contributing towards the solution."

- Andy Warren, Director of Cybersecurity

"I enjoy presenting because I’m passionate about the topics I speak about.  I feel that people can leverage the combination of my experience, successes and failures to help in their decision making.  I love a good conversation.  Co-presenting brings two possible perspectives revolving around the same topic."  

- Mike Miller, vCISO and nationally-recognized speaker and author
