Know the Score: The UBEO Tech Experience at Bank of America Stadium
Your Network Has a Blind Spot. It's Time to Find It.

When:
Thu, Aug 20, 2026
2:30 PM - 5:30 PM
Where:
Bank of America Stadium
800 S Mint St
Charlotte, NC 28202
The Threat Has Moved. Have Your Defenses?
Hackers aren't just battering firewalls and email anymore. They've shifted their focus to the networked devices most IT teams overlook — copiers, multifunction printers, and other supporting infrastructure sitting quietly on your network. If your security strategy doesn't account for these endpoints, there are gaps attackers may already be exploiting.
Dan Schmidt
Security Team, Konica Minolta
A member of Konica Minolta's security team, Dan specializes in the evolving threat landscape and the network blind spots most organizations don't see until it's too late. His session cuts through the noise to deliver a grounded, practical view of where attacks are coming from — and how to stop them.
The Know the Score Tech Event is built for IT leaders who want to close that gap:
- Understand how the threat landscape has shifted and where your network is most exposed right now.
- Identify the devices you may be overlooking that give hackers a quiet way in.
- Walk away with actionable hardening strategies you can put to work immediately.
- Connect with peers navigating the same security challenges in their organizations.
As proud sponsors of Charlotte FC, we're hosting this at Bank of America Stadium — because the best conversations happen in great spaces.
Who Should Attend
This afternoon is built for IT leaders responsible for keeping their organizations secure:
- IT directors and managers looking to stay ahead of a shifting threat landscape.
- Network and infrastructure leads who want to know which devices deserve more attention.
- Security-focused decision makers ready to tighten their defenses with practical, proven strategies.
If you're responsible for your organization's network security, this session will give you something you can use.

The Full Agenda
Here's how the day plays out, from check-in to happy hour.
2:30 - 4:00 PM Security in the Modern Office & Workflow Automation for IT Leaders
For IT leaders and decision makers.
Dan Schmidt, Security Team, Konica Minolta
Hackers have changed their playbook — and most IT teams haven't gotten the memo yet. Rather than targeting the obvious entry points like firewalls and email, attackers are increasingly going after the networked devices hiding in plain sight: your printers, copiers, and multifunction devices. These endpoints are often under-secured, under-monitored, and sitting directly on your network.
Dan delivers a comprehensive, high-level look at how attacker behavior has evolved, why these devices are now a primary target, and what a hardened, modern network defense actually looks like. Expect clear guidance you can take back to your team and act on.
UBEO will then walk attendees through its Hardening Guide — a practical, field-tested resource that identifies 29 specific points of vulnerability across your network environment and pairs each one with clear, actionable steps to close the gap. Whether you're starting from scratch or looking to validate your current security posture, this guide gives your team a concrete roadmap for hardening your network against the threats that matter most right now.

Sponsored by UBEO and Konica Minolta.
Wind down with drinks, conversation, and rotating behind-the-scenes tours of Bank of America Stadium. See the spaces most fans never get access to — and connect with peers who are navigating the same challenges you are.
