ChiSec::Five

Thomas Ptacek | June 29th, 2006 | Filed Under: Matasano, Uncategorized

And on that note, if you’re in Chicago (and if you aren’t, why aren’t you?), Sherrod Degrippo and the unbreakable Josh Daymont are coordinating ChiSec Five on July 20th.

There’s a mailing list (on that web page), and you should join it if you want a say in where future Chisecs will be held.

A refresher: the *-sec meetings (now Chicago, New York, Seattle, and soon Boston) are basically the opposite of ISSA. No dues, no minutes. No sales pitches. Some tables. Beer. A bunch of people you’ve never met who work in security. You don’t have to RSVP (although please do if you can).

Dave and Luke will post about NYSEC 2 shortly. If you’re in a city not served by the *-sec movement, feel free to contact us; we’ll hook you up with someone else in your area that’s looking to get one set up, and we’ll do whatever we can (web page, mailing list, blog posts) to help promote. These gatherings kind of rock, and we want more of them.

    You guys keep forgetting to mention the opportunity for corporate sponsorship (defined as “picking up the tab and expensing it”).

    Chris, if you don’t get enough sales calls/presentations during the workday I’ll gladly send the vendors that contact me your way.

    :P

    The ChiSec Sponsorship Model:

    If you come up to me at Chisec and can demonstrate that you read our blog, I will buy you a beer.

    Other vendors are welcome to engage in a similar fashion!
