Birds of a Feather (BOF) Sessions
There are a lot of technical and management subjects that need attention, but not all of these can be planned as a workshop. Birds Of a Feather, or BOF sessions, bring people with similar interests together to meet and discuss these topics. The topics are agreed by the attendees before this virtual conference and then the session times and locations are published. After registration we will post a link to join in with BOF voting.
- English Idiom: Birds of a feather flock together.
- Explanation: Just as bird species flock together, people with similar interests tend to congregate with one another.
Pre-Conference Workshop
We will have one Pre-Conference Workshop this year. It will happen on the Wednesday, starting in the morning. You can choose to join the workshop in the registration.
Topic: Building Cybersecurity Programs
TFM Contest
The TFM Contest (Technology For Missions) is a chance for you to share this past year’s successes, challenges and failures. This is an open-mic night style event where everyone is invited to get up and tell stories from the past year.
