USPTO IT Security Awareness Day

For the past 40 years, the Federal Business Council has produced thousands of symposiums, expositions, training forums, and conferences, both on-site and off, for the Department of Defense, Intelligence Community, and civilian agencies. 2016 stands to improve upon our schedule, with over 100 events planned.

Join us on April 27, 2016 for the annual USPTO IT Security Awareness Day!

The event host, the IT Security Management at USPTO, and FBC will work together to promote the IT Security Day to all personnel. The USPTO will be promoting the event internally through their "USPTO Weekly" newsletter and via an electronic flyer. They will also be participating in the expo with a table to hand out giveaway items to attendees. The 2015 event brought in over 200 attendees from throughout the agency.
