We’re planning something big.
Welcome to CyberBay: the nation’s epicenter for cybersecurity and AI innovation—uniting world-class higher education, military partnership, and private-sector excellence to protect our nation’s digital borders. Powered by the University of South Florida, Cyber Florida, and the USF Bellini College of AI, Cybersecurity, and Computing, CyberBay is where talent, technology, and national security converge to build the future of digital defense.
CyberBay 2025 is the inaugural event launching this bold initiative, inviting the technology, academic, government, and military sectors to unite and flourish in a shared mission to drive Tampa Bay’s evolution as the nation’s leader in the convergence of cybersecurity, artificial intelligence, and national security.

Sessions should focus on emerging trends, challenges, and near-future states in cybersecurity, AI, and national security. Sessions may be eligible for more than one track.
