Rocky Mountain CyberSecurity Symposium

June 18 -20, 2025

We’re excited to announce the return of the Rocky Mountain Cyber Security Symposium in 2025, hosted again by Casper College in Casper Wyoming! Following last year’s successful  event, it has evolved into a standalone  event for a broader audience, running with an RMUG track, which remains focused on higher education. The event focuses on the following:

The 2025 Rocky Mountain CyberSecurity Symposium (RMCS) offers a powerful convergence of innovation, education, and collaboration in the fight against cyber threats. Spanning five days, this hybrid event includes a cutting-edge pre-conference workshop followed by a dynamic mix of keynote sessions, breakout talks, and hands-on workshops across two distinct tracks: Technical and Awareness

We will soon be exporting the schedule to our interactive conference tool, but here is the overall conference schedule:  

Pre-Conference Workshop (June 16–17): Next-Level OSINT
Led by renowned security expert Mishaal Khan, this intensive two-day session dives deep into advanced Open Source Intelligence (OSINT) techniques.

 We have built in conference games and plenty of networking time, such as an extended lunch with time for attendees to engage with you.  Why an extended lunch? Well, it seems people actually still like to talk to each other. Thus, we have built a purposeful time for people to connect with each other. During the long lunch we will also shuttle attendees who are interested up to the Casper College Tate Museum so they can “Meet the Mammoth”.

Location: Liesinger  Hall, Casper College
