The health and safety of our event attendees and staff is our highest priority, and EDUCAUSE is committed to taking appropriate precautions to provide a safe environment for our community to come together. Based on the evolving COVID-19 situation within the country, including Washington’s Governor Inslee issuing an emergency proclamation that limits large events, a growing number of travel bans and restrictions among the higher education community, and the need for campus staff to prioritize efforts at their home institutions, EDUCAUSE has made the decision to transition the face-to-face Security Professionals Conference to an online format.
EDUCAUSE is working to provide a rich and rewarding online event experience this Spring. More details about the online conference will follow.
We recognize how much time and passion our program committee, speakers, attendees, and sponsors devote to preparing for this event each year, and we’re committed to ensuring that the work is shared with our community. We are also committed to bringing the community together in the upcoming online event and will continue to work with you to bring you the best security and privacy content available.
Your current conference registration will transfer to the virtual conference, and you’ll receive more details about the content and format of the virtual event in the coming weeks. If you wish to have your registration fee refunded, please contact info@educause.edu. EDUCAUSE is investing in new ways to scale online events and to support this community in contributing to and participating in this new, virtual event experience. Together, we will find new ways to inform and engage the security and privacy professional community.
The Hyatt Regency Bellevue will refund rooms canceled more than 48 hours in advance of the reservation date.

We understand the inconvenience that may arise as a result of this decision and regret the disruption it may cause. Please contact us at info@educause.edu and watch the event site for more information.
