The San Diego chapter of FBI InfraGard is hosting its annual Cyber Futures Symposium on Tuesday, September 22th. A forward-looking, one-day event designed to inspire, inform, and advance meaningful dialogue on the evolving landscape of cybersecurity.
Hosted on Qualcomm’s San Diego campus, the symposium will take place in a setting closely aligned with the future of technology, connectivity, and digital innovation. As a recognized leader in wireless communications, connected devices, and emerging technology, Qualcomm provides a uniquely relevant backdrop for a cyber-focused event that reinforces the importance of securing the systems, platforms, and digital infrastructure that power modern society.
The symposium will bring together influential voices from cybersecurity, technology, government, academia, and the private sector for a carefully curated program of keynote addresses, fireside chats, lightning talks, and interactive panel discussions. With a particular focus on Artificial Intelligence, the expanding threat landscape, and future-proofing organizational cyber strategies, the event will explore the practical, ethical, and strategic challenges facing both public and private sector leaders.
Cyber Futures is more than a technology conference; it is a strategic convergence of leadership, innovation, and mission-driven collaboration. Attendees will gain valuable insights from national thought leaders, security professionals, policy experts, and innovators while exploring how cross-sector partnerships can strengthen digital infrastructure and advance societal resilience. For sponsors, the event offers a meaningful opportunity to align with an issue that remains top-of-mind for C-suite executives, government officials, and technology decision-makers working to stay ahead of complex and rapidly evolving cyber threats.
This year's agenda features a standout lineup of speakers tackling cybersecurity from every angle, from Anthropic's Deputy CISO exploring how frontier AI is reshaping both offense and defense, to a rare fireside chat with gaming industry veteran John Smedley on navigating life as a high-visibility cyberattack target. The day closes with a session you won't want to miss: Steven Bay, Edward Snowden's former boss, shares a firsthand account of the days leading up to one of the most consequential insider breaches in cybersecurity history and what organizations today can learn from it to prevent the next one.
