Cocktails and Contracts: Cybersecurity Edition

If you think you're immune to cybersecurity issues, think again. Go ask Equifax, or ask anyone affected by the "Wanna Cry" ransomware earlier this year, how important is cybersecurity?

Join us for cocktails on November 7th as we discuss how cybersecurity affects your government contracting organization. You'll hear several nuggets of inside information and meet the expert members of the KISS - Keep It Simple Solution™ Government Contractors Hub.

Expert speakers will address these subject areas:

Contracts
HR
Accounting and finance
Banking
Legal
Benefits
Retirement
IT

Time is money, and as a C-suite executive, you don't have the time to sit through several different seminars. We gather top advisors in one place, to create a fast-paced opportunity for you to learn, question, and engage.

The event format is as follows: 5 minutes of presentation and 5 minutes for Q&A from 5 experts. The time before and after the presentations is for you to enjoy a cocktail or a glass of wine from Joe Appelbaum's cellar and connect with the experts.

The price of admission is a $50 suggested donation to a local non-profit. 100% of your ticket will be donated to the The Lourie Center for Children's Social & Emotional Wellness.
