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

[Ronnie Jefferson <RONNIE.JEFFERSON () HAMPTONU EDU>]

I just wanted to echo Connie's remarks. This is an excellent security conference that continues to parallel and 
highlight the changes, impacts, and accomplishments in the area of information assurance. Educause, through its use of 
the security listserve and the Security Professionals Conference, has done an outstanding job of keeping us all tuned 
in with the unbelievably fast pace and dynamic world of information security. This is a first class conference from the 
planning and logistics to the tracks and keynote speakers. I highly recommend attendance for anyone involved in 
planning the security efforts of their institutions, or for simply gaining a better understanding of security.
 
Regards..

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!
