A Keynote Speaker Who Makes Cybersecurity Fun
Have you ever snored through a presentation despite being caffeinated, sugared up and subjected to convention-strength air conditioning? So imagine what it’s like for audience members who desperately need action-oriented data security training (so that their organization doesn’t become the next Target), but are unwittingly subjected to a keynote speaker who employs Death-By-Powerpoint. They end up learning nothing. If your audience doesn’t listen, they’ll never change their bad habits. Attendee boredom is meeting planner’s nightmare, a CFO’s budget-wrecker and an organization’s fast track to data breach stardom. There is a better answer.
