The 6th annual SANS Security Awareness Summit in San Diego was our biggest and best Summit yet! This two-day Summit includes expert awareness-focused talks, interactive discussions, networking events, and more.

In a special beta-release, this year's Summit also featured an optional third half-day. Limited to 160 participants, people were able to experience even more learning and interaction, enabling people to make the most of both the event and our amazing community.
