The conference was aimed at qualified IT security professionals and business executives from non-vendor organizations.
It was most useful for North Texas security leaders and business executives at non-vendor organizations, since admission was free for them, the day included CPE credits, and speakers were billed to include Theresa Payton of Fortalice and UT Dallas's chief information security officer. Vendors looking for sales leads would have gotten less from it, because the free admission was aimed at non-vendor attendees and it was a single-day event.
Attendees at cybersecurity conferences on a university campus in Dallas usually wear business casual, with some executives in suits for the closing reception.
