Reed Exhibitions Ltd, the organiser of Europe’s number one information security event, Infosecurity Europe, has announced it will be running an exciting virtual programme of content from 8-10 June 2021 to complement the live expo, which it recently confirmed will go ahead from 13-15 July at Olympia London. Registration for the virtual conference programme will be open here soon.
Nicole Mills, Exhibition Director at Infosecurity Group said: “The success of our virtual conference programme in 2020 has inspired us to repeat the approach this year; augmenting the live event with rich, stimulating and widely accessible online content. The changes wrought by the pandemic – increased attacks and evolving threats, new working models and structures, and accelerated digital transformation – have happened at an astounding rate. We have a role to play in helping the information security community keep pace with these changes by staying engaged and up to date with the most pressing industry topics and developments.”
