SECURITY FORUM-Oct. 18th, 2007
Emerging Trends in Enterprise Security
Technology Managers Forum's 14th year of conferences for Fortune 500 IT managers

Thursday, Oct. 18th, 2007—8:00AM-4:00PM
11 Fulton Street, Bridgewaters conference center, New York City

OVERVIEW & MISSION

TechForum's mission is to bring together colleagues who are facing similar challenges so they can explore together effective solutions based on real-world implementations. At Security Forum, Fortune 500 security managers, along with solution providers, provide an in-depth look at security metrics and present examples and case studies to show how their corporations are valuing data and measuring the effectiveness of their security practices; explore how organizations are developing a secure infrastructure for e-business transactions; and discuss how business managers, data architects, developers, infrastructure and data center groups are collaborating to create effective IT security for their companies.

REAL-WORLD CASE STUDIES--FROM THE TRENCHES
What's separates TechForum's Security Forum from the rest of the conference milieu?
  • Case study implementations from Fortune 500 end-user IT managers: Instead of giving a soapbox to analysts who spout research but have never had to implement the solutions they tout, Security Forum features practicing end-user IT managers from the Fortune 500 companies as its panelists who've been in the trenches. You'll hear about their successes--and their failures. You'll gain insight into the implementation problems they encountered, and how they solved them (or didn't). You'll even hear an argument--or two! What you won't hear is the usual hype-without-substance that pretty much characterizes every other conference out there. Speakers share their experience managing and implementing these solutions--and no-holds barred, because we don't allow press at our events.
  • Only end-user IT managers. No press, analysts, or consultants allowed: TechForum vets each attendee personally, and allows no walk-ins to its events. All registrants must be senior end user IT managers are mid to large firms. And even our vendor speakers are encouraged to give examples instead of product pitches. We do not allow press coverage of our events and no webcasts are employed. This is to ensure the most honest and effective dialogue possible.
  • Pre-vetted material: Vendor presentations are vetted beforehand to make sure they are applicable to our audience and provide useful material for IT managers. There are no product demonstrations. All TechForum conference speakers are asked to discuss their own experiences in developing competitive and secure infrastructures. You'll hear real-world examples and case studies from your peers who have actually implemented the technology they are speaking about.
ATTENDANCE BY INVITATION ONLY--FOR SENIOR IT MANAGERS ONLY

Because all of TechForum events are for the benefit of the IT manager at mid- to- large companies, all of our events are open only to sponsors, and practicing end user IT managers at mid to large companies. That means: no job seekers, no consultants, no analysts, no press. Unless you are a sponsor of our events (click here for more on sponsorship), our events are open only to TechForum members or currently employed IT managers at mid-to-large firms. See our full list of requirements for attendance below for more on who is eligible to attend our events. If you think you meet our requirements for attendance, apply for an invitation to attend below.

SECURITY FORUM ATTENDEE SPECIFICATIONS
1: Attendance is by invitation-only for end user IT managers at large firms, with inflexible attendance parameters. No one can buy their way into a conference if they are not eligible. Instead, we invite only eligible attendees to attend, for free. We pre-screen all applicants-see below for representative list.
2: Attendees MUST work for a company with a minimum of $200 million in gross annual income. The mean is closer to $3.4 billion.
3: Attendees are 100% end user IT managers. We turn away anyone who is not an end-user IT manager. We also do not allow press, analysts, educators or students, consultants (unless specifically making purchasing decisions for an eligible firm). Vendors must sponsor in order to attend.
2: Registrants for conferences typically number 180.
3: Senior titles: An average of 85 percent of attendees hold senior titles of SVP, VP, CISO, CIO, CTO, CSO, Director, or Manager of Information Security/ Privacy/ Compliance or Risk Management. The remaining percentage hold decision-influence titles of Project Lead, Chief Architect, or Analyst of Information Security/ Privacy/ Compliance or Risk Management.
4: Predominant industry represented is financial services: however we also draw from the large law firms and the large pharmaceuticals/ healthcare services, as well as large retail firms, large government agencies, and more. We focus on the business management of technology. We are vertically in financial services, but we do the difficult horizontal market segment--that of upper management of large enterprises.
