Converge Cyber + AI Conference 2026 took place October 6–7, 2026.
It was held at DoubleTree by Hilton Omaha Downtown in Omaha, NE.
Cybersecurity and IT professionals attended, especially those in banking and financial services.
It was most useful for information security and IT staff at banks and credit unions, since the audience leaned toward financial institutions, speakers included Michael Benardo, formerly of the FDIC, and Tim Leonard of Commercial Bank of Texas, and over 20 CPE credits were available. Practitioners outside finance or those seeking a vendor-neutral lineup would have gotten less, as many sessions were led by SBS CyberSecurity staff, the organizer.
Attendees at bank-focused cybersecurity events in Omaha usually wear business casual, such as slacks and a collared shirt, with suits seen mostly on presenters.
