SUMMARY:Wirelessly Connecting Everyone & Everything\, Everywhere
DESCRIPTION:Smartphones\, sensors\, and a wide array of computing technologies and devices are now pervasive in our personal and professional lives\, but connectivity among these devices and to online resources in distance data centers has almost been taken for granted. However\, the COVID-19 pandemic created a new culture of work-from-home/anywhere\, and new requirements for remote learning/teaching (and most everything else). We became acutely aware of our dependence on connectivity\, weaknesses in performance and reliability\, and gaps affecting those without access. Now\, as we emerge from the pandemic with a renewed appreciation for reliable\, performant connectivity for everyone\, we are also witnessing the emergence of new wireless communications technologies—5G\, WiFi 6\, satellite-based networks\, and more–that promise to help address limitations in performance\, availability to all devices\, weaknesses in coverage\, and gaps in access. Join us for this comprehensive look at connectivity as the fourth utility and how these new technologies can wirelessly connect everyone and everything (computers\, sensors\, devices\, instruments\, etc.)\, everywhere\, as we build more connected homes\, schools\, buildings\, mobility\, cities\, and more.

SUMMARY:The Improving Edge Conference
DESCRIPTION:Stay on the emerging EDGE of the industry \n\nEngage. Empower. Elevate.\n\n\nImproving Edge was designed from the ground up to bring as much value to the community as possible. By leveraging our long standing relationships and community connections\, we have pulled together a schedule of speakers that should bring value to individuals\, executives\, and team leaders alike. If you are looking for inspiration\, new tips and techniques\, or fellowship in the community then the Improving Edge is for you. \nImproving considers the industry community to be a key stakeholder in our business\, and because of that we aim to share time\, knowledge\, and experience freely to that community. The Improving Edge adds to other programs like lunch and learns and articles to share lessons learned. At a time when so many of us are facing continued struggles\, new problems\, and looking for advice in an ever tightening business environment\, we felt that it was the perfect time to double down on giving back to the community. The collective goal of Improving\, the speakers\, and the whole Edge team is that this conference makes today’s\, and tomorrow’s\, struggles a bit easier for you and your teams to solve.

SUMMARY:ATARC- Protecting Bring Your Own (BYO) Mobile Devices within Zero Trust Frameworks
DESCRIPTION:June 9th at 1:30pm ET\nATARC Presents in Partnership with ZIMPERIUM-\nAn open discussion with experts from the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST)\, the MITRE Corporation\, and U.S. Department of Defense. \nThe distributed workforce has changed the face of cybersecurity\, bringing enhanced access controls like Zero Trust to the forefront\, enabling employees to be productive anywhere in the world… even on BYO mobile devices. \nRecently\, the National Cybersecurity Center of Excellence (NCCoE) at the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) released a practice guide titled Mobile Device Security: Bring Your Own Device. This NIST guide brings forth what is needed by decision-makers to ensure that BYOD can be executed more securely. \nEach new endpoint accessing internal networks is a risk if left unprotected. In order to securely enable employees to access the data they need on the devices they use the most\, Zero Trust is critical\, and mobile threat defense is a core component for that enablement. \nIf you are responsible for protecting BYO initiatives within Zero Trust frameworks\, please join our webinar to hear: \n– Authors of the NIST practice guide discuss best practices for securing BYO mobile devices\n– Architects at MITRE on how to enhance protection using the MITRE ATT&CK Framework for Mobile\n– Government and industry experts on real-world use cases like the U.S. Department of Defense (DoD) protecting unclassified mobile devices \nPanel: Protecting BYO Mobile Devices within Zero Trust Frameworks \nGema Howell | IT Security Engineer\, Applied Cybersecurity Division\, National Institute of Standards and Technology\nJamie Williams | Cyber Adversarial Engineer\, MITRE\nRick Simon | Cyber Portfolio Project Consultant\, Defense Innovation Unit\, U.S. Department of Defense\nJT Keating | Master Webinar Speaker\, Zimperium\nModerator: Kiersten Patton | Working Group Program Manager\, ATARC

SUMMARY:Venturi Private Wealth- Women’s Conference
DESCRIPTION:Statistics show that women are less likely than their male counterparts to hold a seat at the decision-making table regarding finances and when they do take the seat\, they second-guess their competence*. With females statistically likely to live 6-8 years longer than their male partners on average\, and the fact that they are predicted to receive control of much of the wealth currently in the hands of the baby boomers\, it’s time for women to increase financial confidence and own their seat at the table. If you find yourself desiring to gain greater competence and confidence in financial decision-making\, but aren’t sure where to begin\, this event is for you – we hope to see you there.

SUMMARY:Wayfair Three Years Later: What’s Old\, New and Next for State & Local Taxes
DESCRIPTION:It’s been three years since the U.S. Supreme Court Justices issued their ruling in the case of Wayfair\, et al vs. South Dakota. The results of that case led to dramatic changes in laws for collecting\, reporting and remitting sales tax\, and opened the door for substantial changes to assessing state and local income and franchise taxes. To celebrate this anniversary\, leaders of Cherry Bekaert’s State and Local Tax (SALT) Practice will discuss how these changes are impacting businesses today\, and what to expect going forward.
