Promoting safety at scale
across Upstate New York
The Tech Valley Cybersecurity Symposium is Upstate New York’s largest annual gathering of business leaders, IT professionals, and security practitioners. Now in its fifth year, the Symposium brings together the region’s most forward-thinking organizations for a full day of education, collaboration, and connection.
Whether you are a CEO trying to understand your risk exposure, an IT director looking for practical defenses, or a security professional staying sharp — the Symposium delivers insights you can put to work immediately.
Three reasons to be in the room
Whether you’re protecting a hospital, manufacturer, nonprofit, or law firm, the Symposium meets you where you are.
Learn from the best
Nationally recognized keynote speakers and local practitioners who deal with real-world threats every day. No vendor pitches — just practical, experience-driven insights.
Plan your defense
Workshops give you frameworks and checklists to assess your posture, close gaps, and build a defensible security program regardless of budget or team size.
Connect with peers
The region’s best annual opportunity to meet the people defending Upstate NY organizations — swap stories, build relationships, expand your professional network.
Understand your risk
Leave with a clearer picture of where your organization is exposed and specific guidance on what to do about it, calibrated for business leaders not just technicians.
Earn CPE credits
Security professionals can earn continuing professional education credits toward CISSP, CISM, Security+, and other certifications by attending qualifying sessions.
100% free to attend
No ticket price, no vendor upsells. Fully sponsored so any business leader or security professional in the Capital Region can attend without budget approval.
Don’t take our word for it
Hear from past attendees across healthcare, manufacturing, nonprofits, and professional services.
This is the best cybersecurity event in the Capital Region, full stop. The speakers are world-class and the hallway conversations are just as valuable as the sessions themselves.
I have sent my entire IT team for the last three years. Everyone comes back with something actionable. The ROI on a free event is unmatched.
The Symposium gave me the language and the framework to have the cybersecurity conversation with my board. That alone was worth the day.
Practical, relevant, and well-organized. I have been to national conferences that were not as valuable as this one-day local event.
LogicalNet does a fantastic job bringing together voices from across the security community. The Symposium feels built specifically for our region’s challenges.
I came as a skeptic and left as a convert. The quality of the speakers and depth of the topics exceeded every expectation.
