Introducing Merit’s Signature Event! Previously two separate events, this year’s MMC and MCRCon will take place together from May 17-18 at the Henry in Dearborn, MI... The 21st century organization is changing rapidly. Economics, business trends, technological evolution, workplace preferences and the growing sophistication of cyber threats are all factors contributing to an adapting organizational climate. Educators, governments, nonprofits, libraries, security professionals and businesses face challenges like connecting global workspaces, security in the age of BYOD, policy management in an “always on” culture, cloud networking, the changing landscape of digital collaboration and more. The Merit Member Conference will address many of these topics while providing attendees the opportunity to network with industry experts, merit community members and professional peers. May 17th is Members Only day, and not open for Non-Member attendance. Topics will cover all things networking, technology, collaboration and talent related. May 18th combines both Member Security Day AND the Michigan Cyber Range Conference, inviting Members and the general public to take a deep-dive into cybersecurity.
