The USF School of Information was proudly represented at Technology Day on MacDill Air Force Base on Wednesday, February 19, 2020. Dr. Stephen "Scuba" Gary, Associate Professor of Practice, not only worked the SI booth, but as the Tampa Chapter President of the Military Cyber Professionals Association (MCPA) was also the host of this inaugural one-day conference and expo, which was sponsored by Federal Business Council.
With over 100 attendees, 27 exhibitors, and three presentations, it was a success. The attendees were primarily active duty military, government employees, and government contractors. The exhibitors were primarily cybersecurity companies and government contractors. The presentations focused on machine learning, wireless protection, and building a cybersecurity community of practice. Several veterans expressed interest in the programs that the School of Information has to offer. We look forward to participating in many future Technology Days on base.
