Exhibitor and Sponsor Information

Thank you for your participation in the 4th Annual IT Security Conference.

Please read the following information closely and note the important deadlines below:

Exhibitor/Sponsor Raffle: Call for Donations!

Returning by popular demand, attendees will be given a sheet listing all of the exhibitors and encouraged to have a company representative sign next to their company's name. Attendees who complete and return this sheet will be eligible for the "Exhibitor Raffle" prize. We found this to be a great way for exhibitors to meet all of the conference attendees. Winners will be drawn at the Reception on Tuesday, November 11th. All exhibitors and sponsors are encouraged to bring a prize (or prizes) for donation to the Registration Desk on November 11th.
