The EWF’s annual conference provides an exclusive opportunity to personally interact with more than 400 global thought leaders in the fields of Information Security, Risk Management and Privacy. During this three-day event, members collaborate on round-table exercises, incident simulations, panel discussions and working groups. The theme for this year is: Thrive in an Era of Volatility, Uncertainty and Ambiguity: Cybersecurity, Risk and Leadership Solutions. Early Bird rates are available until August 31, 2017.

“Even after 15 years, there is nothing that comes close to the experience of our national conference – I should know because I have been there since the beginning,” said Lynn Terwoerds, Executive Director, EWF. “The EWF has consistently driven a content-rich, interactive experience like no other. I have made lifelong meaningful connections through this conference and so have many other women.”

“We are not going to achieve real innovation in cybersecurity until we have diversity across the ranks of security professionals,” said Lisa O’Connor, managing director, Accenture Labs – Security R&D. “The Executive Women’s Forum has an enduring commitment to developing and advancing women leaders in the cybersecurity space and fostering a community where we can grow in our careers. We are proud to be both a Diamond sponsor of this important conference and the Women of Influence awards program to recognize the leadership of women who have made outstanding contributions in the security field.”

Notable keynote speakers for this year’s conference include:
• Susan J. Gueli- Senior Vice President, CIO, Infrastructure & Operations, Nationwide
• Catherine Lotrionte- Director of the Institute for Law, Science and Global Security and Visiting Assistant Professor of Government and Foreign Service at Georgetown University

Selected by their peers through submitted nominations, all nominees have made important contributions to the industry at large. Finalists will be selected by a panel of judges from nominations submitted by the nominee's peers and will be announced in August 2017.
