FutureCon Thursday and a WiCyS talk on careers in the AI era

Sent 2026-11-01. A quiet week with two good rooms, plenty of free virtual CPE, and CyberCon registration worth planning now.

The week of November 2 to 8 · 2 events in San Diego · Read online

A quiet week in town with two rooms worth your time. FutureCon comes to the Marriott in Mission Valley on Thursday, and while the day is sponsor led, the closing CISO panel and up to 10 CPEs make it worth the trip; SD ISSA members get in free with the code ISSASD. On Saturday the WiCyS San Diego affiliate hosts a lunchtime talk at the Carmel Mountain Ranch Library on building your next chapter in the AI era from the strengths you already have.

If you would rather stay at your desk, the virtual calendar is full of free CPE sessions on agentic AI and the SOC. Looking ahead, San Diego CyberCon on November 13 is worth registering for now, and SD ISSA members get half off.
