California government executives, IT security professionals, and education leaders attend.
It is most useful for security staff and executives in California state and local government and for education-sector technology leaders, since the one-day agenda covers Cal-Secure 2.0, a statewide workforce roadmap, post-quantum readiness and GRC, and Tarah Wheeler of TPO Group gives the keynote. Private-sector security teams and anyone outside California would get less from it, because the topics are tied to state policy and public-sector operations, and a single day at the Sheraton Grand Sacramento allows limited depth.
Government and education security events in Sacramento usually call for business casual, with some suits among executives and elected-office staff.
