Trip to 2008 Security Analysis and Risk Management Conference (SARMA)

The Security Analysis and Risk Management Association will be hosting their 2nd annual conference at George Mason University of Law in Arlington, Virgina tomorrow. The Security and Risk Analysis Club will be formally introduced by Edward J. Jopeck, the Chairman of SARMA, at the welcome meeting in the morning. Hopefully, we will get some publicity for the club and Penn State’s College of Information Sciences and Technology.

I drove down this afternoon with Caroline Furey and Panos Koutsikos to stay the night at Chris Wisor’s house, another SRA club member, in Olney, MD. Another group of club members met up with us from State College, PA. The conference will last three days and bring the top security and intelligence professionals from the government and private industries under one roof.

There are nine different panel sessions each day (in three, one-hour slots). Deciding which of the three sessions to see will be a tough decision, but the seven of us attending the conference will split up for each session so we can cover all of the events. They all seemed interesting, and many of the speakers are renowned experts in their respected fields. You can check out the schedule of events to see what is available.

I’ll be live blogging throughout the conference, so expect daily updates. Russ Beck, the Director of Intelligence for SRA and fellow blogger, will also be live blogging.
