SUMMARY
Postindustrial brings a pressing news issue to a live event: An afternoon of discussion and networking focused on how we can build a stronger workforce, with an emphasis on cybersecurity and education
Date and time — Tuesday, October 18, 2022, 11 am – 3 pm EDT
Location — Piedmont Park’s Magnolia Hall
There are thousands of unfilled cybersecurity roles across the country – and there aren’t enough candidates to fill those jobs.
Postindustrial is bringing a crucial issue in the news to a live conversation. You'll hear from leaders working to solve the problem and gain insight into how we can help grow a cybersecurity workforce, during National Cybersecurity Awareness Month.
Our moderator leading discussion for the day is Daryn Kagan — you might remember Daryn from her more than 12 years as an anchor on CNN.
Today, Daryn is a syndicated newspaper columnist for Cox Newspapers. She's also a contributor to national platforms such as “CBS Sunday Morning with Jane Pauley.” And she recently became executive director of Just One More, a foundation dedicated to giving second people chances.
Our lunch time keynote is Justin Daniels, an Atlanta-based attorney, author, and podcast host. He'll speak on “Reimagining Data: Building Trust One Byte at a Time”
As a shareholder in the law firm Baker Donelson in Atlanta, Justin helps clients address cybersecurity as a business enterprise risk. He’s also the author of the forthcoming book, “Data Reimagined: Building Trust One Byte at a Time,” and host of the podcast She Said, He Said, about the ways that privacy and security impact business. Justin is also a TEDx and national keynote speaker.
