CAE in Cybersecurity Community Symposium

Get Involved in Pittsburgh
The 2026 Symposium will take place April 28–30, 2026, at the Wyndham Grand Pittsburgh Downtown in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. This year’s theme, “Get Involved,” encourages every attendee to deepen connections, engage with ongoing CAE initiatives, and discover opportunities to collaborate across Communities of Practice (CAE-CD, CAE-CO, CAE-R, and POS-Cyber AI).
New for 2026, the CAE Community National Center (CNC) will open a Call for Proposals for general session presentations, expanding opportunities for faculty and practitioners to share their insights and engage directly with the broader CAE network.
Whether you’re returning or attending for the first time, the 2026 Symposium is your chance to connect with leaders shaping cybersecurity education and to take an active role in the CAE Community’s next chapter.
