POD Security Matters

Murray State University’s Program of Distinction in Cybersecurity and Network Management and Community Financial Services Bank (CFSB) began the annual Patterns of Distinction- Security Matters Conference in 2007 to create the largest technology security conference in the region.  The FREE security conference offers small business and security gurus the opportunity to hear from industry individuals about a variety of issues and topics.  Patterns of Distinction- Security Matters is a one day event held at Murray State University’s Curris Center.  TSM and CFSB hope to make the conference a two-day event as attendance and awareness of the conference continues to grow.

Sponsorships & Vendor Opportunities

Murray State Cyber Center and CFSB  would like to offer you sponsorship and vendor opportunities. The details to both opportunities are below.

Sponsors will be announced several times throughout the conference and the Cyber Awards Luncheon. Sponsors will also be able to bring a large banner to display at the conference, along with their logo being present on the agenda, on marketing emails and in the press releases.

Vendor tables will be open during the conference and highlighted during registration. This will give your company access to local businesses, MSU students, and other community leaders. We would  encourage your company to offer giveaways or door prizes for conference attendees.
