The National OPSEC Conference and Exhibition This year’s National OPSEC Conference and Exhibition will be held at the Snowbird Resort in Salt Lake City from 13 May through 17 May. This conference is definitely worth attending if your job involves keeping information secure. The conference starts and ends with pre- and post- conference classes. We have included the tentative schedule below. Some of the conference events require a security clearance, but most do not. We strongly recommend this conference for anyone involved in the protection of sensitive information.
