CanSecWest 2020

Our 21st annual CanSecWest Information security conference was held on March 18-20 in Vancouver at the Sheraton Wall Center just as the entire city locked down for the COVID-19 pandemic.

We pivoted the entire conference to a hybrid on-line and physical conference with only a few weeks of notice, and eventually switched the conference to a primarily on-line format with two weeks notice.
