Security Conference: FBI's Larkin and ISSA's Hoy Top the Program

["Sadler, Connie" <Connie_Sadler () BROWN EDU>]

Hi, everyone. See below an announcement for the upcoming Security
Professionals Conference in April. You will find links to the complete
program as well as information about related activities. Excellent
keynote speakers have been enlisted. I have been involved with this
conference in one role or another now for 4 years, and can tell you that
it is a quality conference (at a great rate!) that offers content and
networking opportunities for IT and Security professionals at all levels
- with a focus on challenges specific to higher education. The diverse
tracks offer content for entry-leval participants as well as for
seasoned technical wizards who are interested in the cutting edge.
Please join us in Denver in April! And if anyone has questions about the
conference, feel free to contact me directly - or anyone else who is
involved with the Conference.

Thank you!
