LANSING, Mich. — The Michigan Department of Technology, Management & Budget has opened registration for the 2025 Michigan Cyber Summit and High School Cyber Summit, set for Oct. 22 and 23 at the Suburban Collection Showplace in Novi.

Michigan is recognized as a national leader in cybersecurity, and the summits serve as an annual platform for regional, national and international leadership and education, according to the DTMB.

“Michigan is leading the way to invest in cybersecurity and protect our residents online,” Gov. Gretchen Whitmer said. “The Michigan Cyber Summit brings the public and private sectors together so we can ensure all Michiganders have the resources they need to stay safe. The High School Cyber Summit gives students an opportunity to explore in-demand, high-paying field careers in IT and cybersecurity. Let’s keep working together to keep our digital landscape safe and secure.”
