Northport, N.Y. – Dec. 14, 2023
The editors at Cybercrime Magazine have compiled a list of the most popular and important cybersecurity venues globally. The COVID-19 pandemic wiped out many in-person events in 2020 and 2021, and others went virtual. The industry bounced back in 2022 and 2023, and we are expecting 2024 to be busier than ever.
In 2024, our media crew will be roving around RSA Conference, Black Hat, and DEFCON, and we’ll be behind closed doors at some other events.
