WHY SPONSOR?

Sponsoring the 2025 NICE K12 Cybersecurity Education Conference is much more than just marketing impressions. It is THE way to commit your organization’s support to cultivating and retaining a robust cybersecurity workforce. K12 Educators are at the forefront of recruiting young people to fill cybersecurity jobs. Your support of the premiere national event for K12 cybersecurity educators helps them to do just that! 

Since its inaugural event in 2014, the NICE K12 Cybersecurity Education Conference has seen continued growth. It has evolved from a small, regional conference for educators to a robust national network of K12 cybersecurity organizations, leaders, supporters, and educators who culminate in the yearly NICE K12 Conference and their ecosystems. This event has put cybersecurity education in K12 on the map. It facilitates massive growth in cultivating the cybersecurity workforce of the future!
