How can we better connect formal education and the workforce, engaging educators every step of the way?
What curriculum needs to be developed?
3. Equity + Inclusion in Cybersecurity

What's an Unconference?
At the 2020 ASU Partner to Protect Arizona Unconference, there is no set program. While there will be plenary discussions, small-group discussions, and graphic facilitation, participants ultimately self-organize around the themes and ideas that resonate most with their work and passions. Ideas are generated from participants ahead of time to set the tone and be built upon, through the lens of the 7 themes noted above.
Unconference does not mean Unorganized; by the end of the day, participants will have completed deep work that will be captured in a communique, reflecting the perspectives of the whole community, that guides the cybersecurity community in best practices for 2020 and beyond.
