October 6 & 7, 2026 - UC Cybersecurity Summit

Save the date! October 6 & 7, 2026 - UC Cybersecurity Summit: Resilient Together

The 2026 Cybersecurity Summit will be held virtually on October 6 & 7, 2026, from 9 am - 12:30 pm. Building on the success of past virtual Summits, we’re excited to once again offer a lineup of engaging speakers and discussions on timely topics.

Having a virtual Summit supports the University’s continued focus on responsible cost management. Holding the event online also makes it easier for colleagues across the system to participate.

The Summit is built upon a strong foundation of knowledge-sharing among information security professionals across the University of California, California State University, the California community colleges and invited guests. Together, we aim to deepen our understanding and collaboration in safeguarding our institutions and communities against evolving cybersecurity threats.

Note: The Summit is only for those at the University of California, California State University, California community colleges, and invited guests. If you aren’t a part of this community, your registration will require an exception approval. Email uccybersummit@ucop.edu for help.
