The Cayman Captive Forum 2024 has revealed Anthony Robles, NCAA wrestling champion, and Jon Engstrom, a 20-year-old veteran police officer and certified ethical hacker, as its keynote speakers.
The event is set to take place from 3-5 December at the Ritz-Carlton, Grand Cayman.
According to the organising committee, Robles, who will deliver the opening keynote speech, is a testament to overcoming adversity, having been born with one leg.
His remarkable journey of courage and perseverance has led him to win numerous wrestling titles and earn induction into the National Wrestling, Arizona Sports, and ASU's Sun Devil Athletics Halls of Fame.
He is also the subject and author of the upcoming film ‘Unstoppable’, produced by Matt Damon and Ben Affleck through Artists Equity. Currently, he is a wrestling analyst for ESPN and the Pac-12 Network.
Meanwhile, the cyber keynote speaker, Engstrom, was the technical lead for the criminal intelligence and cybercrime sections at a US metropolitan police department.
He also worked as a federal task force officer, conducting undercover and electronic surveillance operations for organised crime investigations.
He will discuss recent trends in online fraud, computer intrusion, and emerging cyber threats.
Alanna Trundle, chair of the Cayman Captive Forum Committee, states: “Both Robles and Engstrom have fascinating messages to share with attendees. We look forward to welcoming them both in December.”
