(feel free to forward this message in its entirety) The RSA Data Security Conference is being held February 18-22, 2001, at the McEnery Convention Center in San Jose, California. This is the biggest computer security conference in the world, with 200 vendors and over 10,000 attendees. Personally, I think it's a blast, and attend every year. I'm sending this to remind list members that, although the full conference is quite costly, there are (as in previous years) a couple of ways to get all or part of the show for free, and a discounted fee for academic types. ---------------------------------------------- Free Expo Passes: The Expo is the Exposition Hall, where about 200 computer security companies from all over the world will be pushing their products and looking for new hires. Free passes for the expo are available if you register over the web until February 15. After that (or at the door) they cost $50. The Expo is open Tuesday the 19th and Wednesday the 20th from 11AM to 7PM, and Thursday the 21st until 3PM. --------------------------------------------- Academic Scholarships ssh Communications Security Inc. has sponsored a number of student scholarships. Any full-time student wishing to apply for a RSA Conference 2002 scholarship should submit a curriculum vitae (CV) to RSA Security via email at rsa2002_scholarships@rsasecurity.com. Preference will be given to graduate students and advanced undergraduates in relevant disciplines. Please note that scholarships do not cover travel expenses, meals or lodging. --------------------------------------------- Academic discounts (if you can't get a scholarship :-) The RSA Conference offers a discounted registration fee of $595.00 to students and professors of academic universities. (which is way less than half the regular fee) ------------------------------------------------ Full information on the conference can be found at http://www.rsaconference.com (which, as others have pointed out, is Flash-heavy :-( I'm talking to people to try to get that changed next year.) See you there!
