The RSA Data Security conference will be held at the Moscone Center and the Metreon in San Francisco this year, April 8-12. http://www.rsasecurity.com/conference/rsa2001/intro2.html It's a really neat conference, but pricey. However, looking through the registration web pages, I found this:
Student Scholarships
Several corporations have kindly proposed to sponsor student registration fees; full-time students wishing to apply for a scholarship should contact RSA Security at rsa2001_scholarships@rsasecurity.com
I don't know how many are available, or what they include, but the regular academic registration is $495. Also, if you just want to attend the Expo (we have over 250 vendors expected), you can get a free pass if you register before March 2 (otherwise, $50 at door). Peter Trei ptrei@rsasecurity.com
