Emerge is excited to announce our participation as a Cornerstone Partner for the 2026 Ohio Information Security Conference (OISC26), hosted by Technology First on March 11, 2026, in Dayton, Ohio.
This year’s conference theme — Next Threat. Next Move. — takes aim at one of the defining realities of modern cybersecurity: the margin between staying secure and falling behind is razor-thin. The event brings together CISOs, security analysts, risk managers, and technology leaders for a full day of sessions exploring everything from real-time incident response to AI-driven threats and government cyber strategy. Keynote speaker Kirk Herath, Ohio’s former Cybersecurity Strategic Advisor and Chair of CyberOhio, will address the future of federal, state, and local government cyber strategy — and why public-private collaboration is now mission critical.
“The theme of this year’s conference resonates deeply with how we approach cybersecurity at Emerge,” said Jesse Kegley, Chief Revenue Officer at Emerge. “In this landscape, there is no room for hesitation. Our clients count on us to help them act decisively, intelligently, and with purpose — and that’s exactly the mindset OISC26 is championing. We’re proud to support an event that reinforces what we believe: the next threat is already here, and being prepared to make the next move is what separates resilient organizations from vulnerable ones.”
We invite IT and security professionals across Ohio to join us at OISC26.
