#1229164: Trying something new: a new kind of security conference in D.C., Oct. 3
| Description: |
Sometimes, you have to try new things. So, here goes. I’m hosting a conference. Hopefully, a different kind of security conference. In Washington D.C., on Oct. 3. Please consider going, or share this invitation with someone who might be interested. Here’s the big idea: Almost everyone in cybersecurity has been there. A crisis unfolds. A big hack, or a lost laptop. A rapid-response team is formed. Suddenly you’re sitting across the table from someone you’ve never seen before. You have different priorities. It feels like you are speaking different languages. This is not the time to get to know each other, or to get a crash course in the basics. Now is a better time. Before the crisis. That’s the idea behind this intensive, all-day session I’ve planned with George Washington University law professor Dan Solove. His Privacy + Security conference has become a can’t-miss show for privacy professionals. We’ve discussed a project like this for a while, and this year, we’ve pulled together this add-on day for conference attendees. I have no idea how things will go, but we have a great lineup of sessions and speakers. You can attend this single day without paying for the entire conference, though you’d be missing a great program. The InfoSec and Tech Intensive Intensive Day is a special all-day event that will occur on the pre-conference day of the Privacy+Security Forum, which takes place later in the week. Here is more about the conference. What is the InfoSec + Tech Intensive Day? The InfoSec and Tech IntensiveIntensive Day is a special all-day event that will occur on the pre-conference day of the Privacy+Security Forum on Wednesday, October 3, 2018.

There will be unparalleled interactivity. Most of the day will be spent in seminar-style discussion groups. This is a discussion for experienced professionals in either privacy or security.
