Intro

fwd:cloudsec is a non-profit conference on cloud security. At this conference you can expect discussions about all the major cloud platforms, both attack and defense research, limitations of security features, the pros and cons of different security strategies, and generally the types of things cloud practitioners want to know, but that don't fit neatly into a vendor conference schedule.

When: June 12-13, 2023
Where: Embassy Suites by Hilton Anaheim South, Anaheim CA
Tickets: Last round goes on sale at 9AM PT on May 15th
Sponsorship: All sponsorship spots have been confirmed for this year and are in the process of being announced.

Health & Safety

We do not plan to require masks at fwd:cloudsec 2023; in reaching this conclusion we considered current federal, state and local guidance, latest studies, this year’s larger venue and case projections for the summer. However, we recognize that COVID remains a significant health concern for many and so we strongly encourage mask usage.

We will continue to monitor the situation and will notify attendees if we need to change our policy at a future date.

Disclaimer: COVID-19 is still an infectious and potentially deadly disease. There is an inherent risk of exposure to and contracting COVID-19 in any public gathering. By purchasing a ticket and attending fwd:cloudsec 2022 (the “Event”), attendees are voluntarily assuming this risk and, on behalf of themselves, their heirs, and/or their assigns, agree to hold harmless the Forward CloudSec Association (the “Association”), its directors and members, any other individuals assisting the Association in any way with hosting the Event (collectively, the “Organizers”), or any sponsors of the Event, for any harm or other tort that might arise from an attendee's attendance at the Event, whether related to COVID-19 or not.
