It’s that time again!We’re hosting our (CAD’s) 7th Annual IT Hot Topics Conference and Golf Tourney.
To be quite honest, with the travel budgets as they are, we came into 2009’s planning with expectations of a much lower turnout than our previous two years (when we moved the event to the beautiful Grandover Resort). As it turns out, after opening registration for just a couple of weeks, we had about 130% of registrations over last year and they’re still coming in!
Every year has been filled with exciting additions over previous years. This year, we’re delighted to host a special opening keynote with renowned computer security expert and author, Johnny Long. Johnny is someone I have grown to know and respect greatly in the industry in the few times our paths have crossed speaking at various events. He’s about to embark on an exciting new journey and I’m hoping to hear more about that when we see him next week.
In addition to Johnny, some of your other favorite security pros will be presenting, including the world famous physical security specialist (and pen tester) Jack Wiles of The Training Co. and Trey Ford will also be present in his web app security and PCI hat for a special session.
There may even be a special appearance by Hoot the owl. More on that later…
