Submit now

mWISE 2024 is on the move!

mWISE 2024 (Mandiant Worldwide Information Security Exchange) is heading to Denver, Colorado from September 18–19. A new, more central location but our goal is the same: gather leading security experts to share knowledge and intel, and to address the greatest cyber threats and challenges our industry faces.

mWISE is open to the security community at large — bringing industry, government and academia together to discuss and understand today’s landscape and identify the threats on the horizon. And program content is guided by an open call for speakers with an agenda curated by selections from an independent committee of industry practitioners.

CALL FOR SPEAKERS IS NOW OPEN

Submissions to speak at mWISE are now being accepted. We are looking for thought-provoking topics, new insights and perspectives. Share your expertise. Engage your peers.

We will accept submissions through May 15, 2024

CALL FOR KEYNOTE IDEAS

We reserve our stage for leaders in our community, inspirational speakers and thought-provoking talks that spur discussion. Last year, we introduced our Call for Keynote Ideas to source ideas from the community, and will continue again this year.

Share your ideas for a topic or a speaker. It can be a cybersecurity leader or expert, or a topic that will help challenge conventional thinking, nurture our minds, or spur us to think differently.

NOTE: We have consolidated timelines with our main Call for Speakers to allow more time to follow up on your ideas.
