Our 19th annual WOW Conference is the flagship annual cybersecurity, governance, risk, and technology event produced by the ISACA South Florida chapter. Designed to bring together leaders from industry, government, academia, and the next generation of professionals, WOW serves as a premier forum for advancing digital trust, workforce readiness, and organizational resilience.

Through keynote presentations, expert-led panels, and interactive discussions, the WOW Conference addresses today’s most pressing cybersecurity and technology challenges, including emerging threats, regulatory compliance, artificial intelligence, and workforce development. Attendees gain practical insights, earn continuing professional education (CPE) credits, and build meaningful connections across the cybersecurity and risk ecosystem.

This year's theme is "CyberCup: Uniting Champion's in Cybersecurity" and reflects the collaborative, high-stakes nature of today’s cybersecurity landscape where success depends on teamwork, strategy, and continuous improvement. Inspired by the global competition of the FIFA World Cup⚽, CyberCup brings together “champions” across cybersecurity, governance, audit, and risk to share best practices, strengthen defenses, and elevate industry standards.

In summer 2026, South Florida will be at the center of the world’s attention as Miami Gardens hosts seven FIFA World Cup 2026 matches, including exciting group-stage contests and knockout round play at Hard Rock Stadium as part of the expanded 48-team tournament. 

 This global sporting spectacle underscores the region’s role as a hub of international engagement and cultural exchange and making it a perfect backdrop for connecting cybersecurity leaders, workforce innovators, and policymakers at WOW 2026.

Just as elite teams must prepare for the world’s biggest stage, CyberCup emphasizes cross-sector collaboration, talent development, and leadership to address evolving cyber threats. The theme celebrates our shared mission to build a secure, resilient, and future-ready digital economy where talent and technology work together like a championship team.
