AMSTERDAM, The Netherlands— Organisers of the RSA Conference in Europe today announced the confirmed programme for this year’s event, which is taking place on 3rd – 5th November at the RAI Exhibition and Congress Centre in Amsterdam, The Netherlands.
This fourth annual information security Conference and exposition in Europe is modeled on the US-based RSA Conference, the world’s leading security event, which attracted more than 8,000 attendees in April 2003.
The Conference and exposition will feature more than 50 vendors demonstrating the latest technical innovations, and deliver keynote presentations from industry leaders and international policy-makers. There will also be 70 individual breakout sessions on topics ranging from the latest in secure web services and enterprise and developer security, to discussions amongst legal experts and public interest groups on the challenges and opportunities posed by electronic invoicing, digital signing and biometric technologies.
The Call for Papers submissions were received and reviewed by an independent panel comprising representatives from Sharp, KPMG, Datamonitor, VNU Business Publications, Faegre Benson Hobson Audley LLP and RSA Security.
“The RSA Conference is once again set to provide an unrivalled forum for discussion amongst industry experts, government officials, and leaders in business and academia. Through the tutorials, case study sessions and multiple classes contained in this comprehensive programme, all delegates will be able to hone their security strategies and initiatives to increase business continuity and ROI,” comments Tim Pickard, managing director of RSA Conference Europe.
