Re: Secure IT Conference Reviews

[Javier Torner <jtorner () CSUSB EDU>]

I attended both conferences last year and both were very valuable.

I am also bias on my opinion since I am in the program committee
for Secure IT  and indeed, it has some vendor
presentations. However the selection committee looked for vendor
presentations that were of value for higher Ed, not just a sale pitch.
Take a look at the presentations, the final agenda is already on line.

Also, today is the last day for Early Bird Registration

This type of conferences are become extremely valuable and provide an
excellent opportunity to interact with other security practitioners
in higher ed.

I am planning to attend both and looking forward to see you all either at
Secure IT or at SPW.

Cheers,

Javier
