Hi Matthew—

In addition to the great suggestions already offered, you might check out the NWACC (Northwest Academic Computing 
Consortium) security conference in the fall. Good way to meet some of your regional peers.

Security Listserv,

Our college is a little new to designated Information Security employees.  Because of this, we are not fluent on what 
trainings and conferences that Information Security employees should be attending.  So, my question is, what kind of 
trainings and conferences do other Information Security employees attend?  What are your favorite 
trainings/conferences?  Would you not recommend certain ones?

We have done some trainings and conferences in the past.  Some examples are:

  *   Educause Annual Conference
  *   Educause Security Professionals Conference
  *   Ellucian Live
  *   SANS Training
  *   Local Security BSides

I am also looking into:

  *   ISC2 Security Congress
  *   Black Hat/Defcon

Thank you for other information that you can offer.
