Security Workshop: Low Early-Bird Rates End 4/19

[Ced Bennett <Ced.Bennett () STANFORD EDU>]

Colleagues-

This is just a heads up that the lower, early-bird rates for the May 16-18
Security Professionals Workshop will soon be a thing of the past.  This
year's conference is shaping up to be outstanding, with keynoters from both
DHS and Bank of America, two preconference seminars, and three tracks of
sessions covering a variety of information security topics.  Anyone
responsible for information security (or some portion of it) at their
institution should consider this a "must attend" event.

Hope to see you there,
Ced Bennett
