Good Afternoon: I wanted to alert the Security Professional community about the upcoming 2014 Technology Exchange conference in Indianapolis in October. One of the tracks for the event is dedicated to Security topics and features speakers like Kim Milford, Executive Director of REN-ISAC; Tom Barton, CISO University of Chicago; Mecole Spencer, Supervisory Special Agent in the FBI’s Cyber Division; and Anita Nicolich, Cybersecurity Program Director at NSF. The program (http://meetings.internet2.edu/2014-technology-exchange/program/) also includes specific cross-topic sessions that focus on security issues within the cloud services, advanced networking, and trust & identity tracks for the meeting. Given the large-scale security breaches of this past year, cybersecurity was given a prominent place on the program. In fact, the Wednesday plenary session is dedicated to this topic and features an interesting and experienced panel, as you can see outlined in the announcement below. I hope to see you in Indy.

[Technology Exchange banner]<https://meetings.internet2.edu/2014-technology-exchange/> Experts to Discuss "Digital Privacy and Cybersecurity: A 21st Century Journey or Illusion?" Can technology ever be truly secure? Can laws protect us? Does digital privacy even matter? Could cyberwar cripple us with never a shot fired? Join our panel of world-class experts as they debate what can and must be achieved through technological vigilance, policy, national and international law, and evolving personal behavior as we learn to live in an increasingly digital world. Join the conversation at the 2014 Technology Exchange<http://meetings.internet2.edu/2014-technology-exchange/> as former U.S. Congressman Lee Hamilton, director of the Center on Congress at IU, Fred Cate, and Dell Chief (Security) Scientist, Carrie Gates take an in-depth look at how these factors interact to shape our world—and the role of the research and education community in making that world more secure in a featured panel discussion on Wednesday, October 29 at 10:30am. Moderated by Dr. Brad Wheeler, Vice President for IT and CIO of Indiana University, the distinguished panel will offer important perspectives on government surveillance powers, what practical reform could look like, what steps we should take with—and without—legislation, and what personal privacy and security really mean in a world at cyberwar. Internet2, in collaboration with the Department of Energy's Energy Sciences Network (ESnet)<http://www.es.net/>, will convene the 2014 technology Exchange to bring together a wide range of technical visionaries to address the challenges facing the research and education community as it supports data-intensive research. A new annual conference, the Technology Exchange will be hosted this year by Indiana University at the JW Marriott Indianapolis.
