NIST IT Security Day

Join us on April 18, 2017 for the NIST IT Security Day.

Exhibitors are invited to display their technology products and services at the 2017 NIST IT Security Day at NIST HQ in Gaithersburg, MD. The Office of the Chief Information Officer, OCIO, is hosting this event to heighten awareness for all NIST users on the many aspects of operational information technology security and networking at home and in the office. Featuring guest speakers on general and technical IT security topics and tutorials on internal services and products, this event's objective is to educate users on IT security and related topics. For FY 2016, NIST allotted over $94M for advancements in their information technology and cybersecurity departments.

Approximately 1000 NIST employees attend this event annually as it is mandatory for all NIST employees to attend at least one NIST IT Security Day session during the day. The exhibit hall held within the Portrait Room next to the cafeteria is strategically placed to maximize the attendee traffic to and from the sessions taking place in the auditorium. High traffic in the exhibit hall is expected before and between sessions. In 2016, over 300 NIST personnel visited the exhibit area.  Exhibitors are also able to attend the IT Security Day sessions.
