Top IT security conferences you should attend in 2020
Introduction: Why attend conferences?
Conferences are a great way to gain information and knowledge about advances on cutting-edge technologies but are also opportunities to meet and connect with industry-foremost experts. Participants, in fact, can learn of innovative ideas and new solutions as well as share experiences of security challenges with like-minded people.
With so many conferences happening every year, how can professionals pick the right symposium? Here are a few things to consider:
- Where’s this conference (North America, Europe, Asia) located?
