Call for Speakers, Registration Opens for 4th Annual National K-12 Cybersecurity Leadership Conference

K12 SIX is pleased to announce the availability of the Call for Speakers and Registration for the 4th Annual National K-12 Cybersecurity Leadership Conference to be held February 24-26, 2026 in Albuquerque, NM.

The National K-12 Cybersecurity Leadership Conference is a unique event designed to identify and share solutions and best practices to better defend the K-12 education sector from emerging cybersecurity threats, such as ransomware and data breaches. Participants from past conferences - 2023 (Austin), 2024 (Savannah), 2025 (San Diego) - report overwhelmingly positive feedback about the event:

"“So many of us are starving for K-12 cyber resources, and putting so many of us in the same room was one of the best events I’ve been a part of.”

“I just wanted to reach out to say thank you again for an amazing conference. My team and I all agreed that was by far one of our best conferences any of us have ever attended.”

“I encountered a group of individuals who were exceptionally friendly, helpful, and willing to share both their successes and challenges. Every table I joined was occupied by engaging professionals from across the US, setting aside politics and geography to discuss the common goal of cyber resilience. Despite the abundance of acronyms and technical jargon in our sector, I was reminded of our core mission: not to protect ‘data’ but to protect the safety of the children and colleagues we serve.”

“Grateful for the chance to share, learn, and collaborate with the best in K-12 cybersecurity. Looking forward to keeping the momentum going!”

This popular event has sold out in prior years so interested participants are encouraged to act fast to secure their seat.
