 HEALTH-ISAC EXERCISE

H-ISAC Hobby Exercise 2021
– Call for Participants

The Hobby Exercise is an annual Healthcare and Public Health (HPH) event designed to engage the sector and its partners on significant security and resilience challenges to inform improvements to planning and response.  The second iteration of the Hobby Exercise is scheduled for November 2, 2021 at Venable LLP in Washington, DC. We anticipate 30-50 participants, in person, from the public and private sector. This all-day exercise features keynote speakers, large group discussion, breakout room discussions, lunch, and ample breaks to network. The exercise will be held at TLP Amber to facilitate open discussion on these important matters.

Participant details: An inclusive, holistic, multi-disciplinary approach provides value to this exercise, and we are looking for diverse representation across the sector. This diversity extends to organization type (e.g., MDM, HDO, etc.), role (e.g., IT/Security, HR, Legal, Comms, etc.), and individual experience level

Purpose:  The Hobby Exercise educates participants on the issues within healthcare and how H-ISAC and its members can, and are, addressing them. This exercise builds enduring relationships within and across the public and private sector that help to strengthen understanding, response, and recovery plans and activities.

Seats are filling up, sign up today!
To participate in the Hobby Exercise or learn more, please email contact@h-isac.org.
