I managed to get selected as an official blogger for RSA. I was really looking forward to attending RSA 2008 next week. But, due to circumstances, I will not be able to go. I’m set to have a medical thing tomorrow that will apparently preclude me from flying for several days. I still plan to post about the show (via sources on the ground in San Fran). If you are attending and have any hot tips feel free to drop me a line.
If you are attending be sure to make the most of it. RSA 2008 is a huge show so do yourself a favour, wear a good pair of shoes. Last year I had some back pain from walking up and down the vendor floor. For the most part its carpet laid over concrete. That, will catch up with you. There are a large number of events that you should take advantage of. If you are new to the RSA Conference be sure to attend the first timers orientation. That will help a great deal. Your guide book has a lot of info so be sure to give it a thorough once over. A lesson I learned the hard way last time. It should be a great time.
Oh, and if you like seafood…go to Scoma’s on pier 47. Show up before 6 pm if you don’t like waiting for a table. Fantastic restaurant!
Sorry to hear that, and I hope everything works out. I will probably twitter most things, and do daily recaps like I did at CanSecWest. Let me know if you want to team up for something.
Im stuck down in Santa Cruz at work, cant go!
I followed Ira’s presentation closely though, Im SCADA manager here.
Lately I spend alot of time trying to convince management not to allow IT to set up remote access to SCADA for contractors to do work for the SQL Server and PLCs.
Sad.
I sent the article link on Ira’s presentation from NetworkWorld to them all.
