Webinar - 20/20: A Vision for Future Proofing Technology in the New Decade

Hear from experts on the key cybersecurity, technology and software quality opportunities to fortify our businesses in this special webinar for technology executives.

About this Webinar

It's a new decade and we are all being challenged to fortify our businesses in these dynamic and uncertain times. Accelerated software development cycles, continuous advancements in hardware and networks, increased reliance on remote based teams and ever-present cybersecurity threats are just some of what we face.

Staying on top of it all is mission critical and here in Southern California we have some of the best solutions and partners ready to help. 

We invite you to join us as for a special webinar that brings together technology experts BlackBerry-Cylance, QA Consultants and xahive to share their perspectives on what we should be paying attention to on the technology horizon from networking, software quality and cybersecurity solutions, including education and governance.

We are honored to welcome a representative from the Department of Homeland Security as our special guest.

As the Canadian-U.S. Business Council in Southern California, MAPLE is proud to join the Consulate General of Canada in Los Angeles to bring together these leading Canadian technology firms who are shaping what's possible here in Southern California.
