This is also where the welcome and closing remarks happen.

SCHEDULE – DAY 1
Virtual Conference & Lounges
On Day 1 of the conference thought leaders from public and private sectors will discuss topics across cybersecurity, full-stack network engineering, cloud engineering, and leadership.
The virtual main stage is where it all starts and ends. Think of it as the main hall in a conference venue. Everyone enters the event here and comes back to this stage in order to move into the other stages and lounges. While most speakers present simultaneously across our other four stages, the keynote speaker presents alone on this stage, putting all of the attention on the keynote address. During the rest of the day, our sponsors will be given the chance to showcase their products and services by purchasing a 30 min Product Showcase slot. This is also where the welcome and closing remarks happen.
While programming runs on the five stages, recruiters & sponsors will have the opportunity to book a virtual lounge to host contests, connect with attendees and even conduct interviews.
