Synopsis:

In an era where digital threats evolve faster than ever, the U.S. Army stands at a pivotal crossroads in training its cyber and signal personnel. Our panel, featuring a diverse group of warrant officers, proposes to take a hard look at the current state of Army cyber and signal training, challenging existing norms and advocating for transformative reforms.

Boiler:

AvengerCon VIII is complete! We had over five hundred attendees, including hundreds remotely, as well as more than thirty presentations, and half a dozen villages.

Thank you everyone who attended, to our dedicated volunteers, and to our friends at the Georgia Cyber Center, CyberFIC, ArCTIC, and ACI! Without all of you this event wouldn't have been what it is, and we're looking forward to seeing you next time!
