About

ISACA Winnipeg welcomes you to our annual Western Canada Information Security Conference.

Our event brings IT Security and Audit professionals together with OEM and local vendors over two days. Industry professionals get topical education on cyber issues and all important CPE credits to support their certifications. Vendors get the opportunity to showcase their expertise on cyber security products, solutions, and ideas to the Winnipeg audience. This year’s event takes place on Tuesday May 11th and Wednesday the 12th. The conference opens both days at 9 AM with a Keynote Address from Palo Alto, the Diamond sponsor. There are three separate education tracks that begin after the 1-hour keynote. The 1-hour tracks start at 10 AM, 11 AM, 1 PM, 2 PM, and 3 PM. Although there is an unscheduled break from 12 Noon to 1 PM, vendors will be available at their booths all day to meet with attendees.

Each day’s formal schedule ends at 4 PM after the last sessions of the day. This year’s virtual conference will follow the layout of our in-person conferences with a Lobby, an Exhibit Hall, and an Auditorium. Each vendor will have a virtual booth in the Exhibit Hall hosted by their staff where they will be available to the conference attendees. The Auditorium will be where the plenary sessions for the Keynote Addresses will be held. We encourage attendees to take advantage of this opportunity to meet with our vendors at their virtual booths.
