Agenda
Session 1 - Reinvention - How I Got Caught: A Deep Dive Into an 800K Fraud
Speaker - Craig Stanland
Craig Stanland knows what it means to have it all and to lose it in an instant.
In 2012, a catastrophic choice shattered the life he’d built.
Everything he thought defined him collapsed: his career, his success, his identity.
But what looked like the end became a powerful new beginning.
Today, Craig is a keynote and TEDx speaker and author of Blank Canvas.
Drawing from firsthand experience with high-stakes decision-making, he offers a rare insider’s
perspective on fraud, ethics, and the hidden rationalizations that lead people down destructive
paths.
When he’s not speaking or writing, Craig is hiking, paddleboarding, exploring car shows,
relaxing at the beach, or spending time with his wife and their three special-needs cats.
Session 2 - AI Attack Surface
Speaker - Jeff Crume, IBM
Jeff Crume is an IBM Distinguished Engineer and Master Inventor with more than 40 years’ experience in the IT industry.
