A new kind of security conference.

mWISE was established as an intimate, vendor-neutral gathering with a focus on hard-hitting solutions for practitioners on the front lines. It’s not a megaconference; it’s a targeted space where people who are serious about security find each other, make connections, and solve problems. You can expect to have important, fruitful personal interactions not only with other attendees but with speakers and session leaders.

The conference runs from September 18–20, 2023, in Washington, DC.
