Touch Symposium First Edition

In the midst of the COVID pandemic, on December 3rd 2020, we organized the first edition of Touch Symposium with three female students who studied computer programming at 42 Paris. The theme of our first edition was CREATIVITY to share what could be done during chaotic time. As our lives became more and more digital with lockdowns and social distancing, we focused on the fundamental to stay safe: cybersecurity.

During that day, more than 800 persons around the world watched our livestream.

Speakers: Steve M. Bellovin (Columbia University), Wendy Nather (CISCO), Sophie Viger (42 Network), Katie Moussouris (Luta Security), Joe Grand (L0pht, Grand Idea Studio), Claire Katz (Texas A&M University), Justin Weinberg (University of South Carolina), Dan Conway (Texas A&M University), Haroon Meer (Thinkst Canary), Mark D. Miller (University of Sussex), Su-En Williams (Australian cyber gov), Jung Seung (artist, South Korea)
