AI Cybersecurity & Protecting Kids: Inside Boys Town's Digital Defense

One night. One important conversation. A rare opportunity to see how AI, cybersecurity, and mission come together at Boys Town. Register on Meetup.

As artificial intelligence transforms our digital world, how do we use it responsibly? And how do we protect the children growing up in that world?

Boys Town is not a traditional technology company or public school. It is a world-renowned national nonprofit dedicated to child behavioral health, family care, and youth welfare.
Behind that deeply human mission is a sophisticated digital environment responsible for protecting sensitive information, supporting critical services, and helping keep children and families safe.

Mike Welna, Boys Town Director of Information Security, will take us behind the scenes to explore the tools, processes, and people supporting Boys Town’s digital protection strategy. He’ll also share how Boys Town is leveraging AI and navigating the opportunities, responsibilities, and risks that come with this rapidly evolving technology.
You’ll learn how a mission-driven organization approaches AI and information security—and discover lessons that can be applied in schools, businesses, nonprofits, technical teams, and in our everyday lives.

Perfect for:
· Educators and school leaders
· Business and operations leaders
· Developers and technical professionals
· Cybersecurity and data professionals
· Nonprofit and community leaders
· Parents and caregivers
· Anyone interested in responsible AI and digital safety
