HONOLULU, HI - Following the great success that we had at the first Shakacon
- the second annual Shakacon security conference - where industry,
government, academia and independent experts will get together to share
knowledge - will be held in the heart of Honolulu on June 10-11, 2008.  One
of the most beautiful places on Earth will be the backdrop for a unique
conference experience.  Informative sessions will present both current
research and practical experience on a broad range of security topics.

Shakacon will offer local, national, and international participants a
casual, social learning environment designed to present a "holistic"
security view and the opportunity to network with peers and fellow
enthusiasts in a relaxed setting.
  
During the day, sessions will include: best practices, case studies,
research projects, etc. covering all different aspects of security to offer
a layered view of the security landscape.  Expect topics as wide ranging as
security training to forensic investigations.  There will be something for
everyone.  After-hours, the learning will continue with exciting events and
contests that will test skills and knowledge.
 
Papers may be submitted to the review committee by April 18th, 2008.
Slides for your papers must be submitted by May 9th, 2008.
