Thanks to Y'All For All Y'Alls "Disinfo"

Homeland Security Conference Rescheduled

Thank you to everybody who spread this disinfo — I mean, facts —about our intrepid federal employees and others. You know the ones who’d planned a three-day cybersecurity conference in Atlanta…with the opening tabletop exercise on National Election Day?

Well, as a result of “disinfo” and from an “abundance of caution,” that’s been rescheduled. Here’s a bit of the announcement and a link to the website:

 After careful consideration, AFCEA-Atlanta (a chapter of AFCEA International) and its event production partner Federal Business Council (FBC) are postponing the 2024 Homeland Security Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Conference. originally scheduled in Atlanta for November 6-7, 2024, and a pre-conference tabletop exercise during setup on the 5^th. A rapid and unanticipated rise in rhetoric and threats stemming from disinformation about the purpose of the event and its proximity to Election Day contributed to the decision to postpone.

Out of an abundance of caution and because a number of government agencies are unable to participate, we made this difficult decision so that we can deliver a high-quality and meaningful event, with deep and rich engagement across industry, government and academia, and full participation by all stakeholders. We apologize for the inconvenience and are exploring options to reschedule the event. We will reach out directly to all participants with details, including information about transferring existing exhibits, registrations and sponsorships. Updates also will be shared on the AFCEA-Atlanta chapter's event website, on FBC's website, via email and on social media.

Your registration will be automatically transferred to the new date. When the date is announced, you'll have the ability to accept or decline, per our normal processes. Thank you for your patience, cooperation and understanding. 

Way to go all you wild and wonderful peeps! Link to website announcement.
