Secure & Strong | Core to Cloud

Let’s be honest – working in STEM and cybersecurity can be a lot. Pressure, burnout, imposter syndrome, always-on culture… and then trying to juggle everything outside of work, too? We see you. We feel it. And we think it’s time to talk about it.

Secure & Strong is a different kind of event. It's a space for women in cyber to come together, connect, breathe, and feel supported. No judgment. No suits. Just real stories, shared experiences, and some seriously feel-good vibes.

We’re taking over Cirencester Castle for the day to blend inspiring conversation with practical wellbeing, delicious food, and a few surprises along the way.

What to expect:

• Honest talks about what it really means to be a woman in cyber today
• Stories from cyber teams, SOC analysts, IT leaders, and more! You'll also learn how to put the tools into practice in your working life
• A live crisis simulation segment — where we unpack real-world pressure and how to stay calm, clear, and confident when it counts
• Tips for staying well, building confidence, and finding balance
• Guided wellbeing experiences
• Raffle prizes, branded merch, and wellness goodie bags
• All in support of NHS mental health services

Oh — and there’s pick up and return transport from Swindon Train Station, so you can truly relax and enjoy the day.

Whether you’re just starting out or leading a team, this is your space. Come as you are. Leave feeling stronger, more seen, and more supported - both in your STEM or cyber career and your personal life.
