The discount rate is applicable for the Briefings only, there are no additional discounts for training unless there are 6 or more persons from your group attending the same class and session, and will be based on the rate at the time that we receive your completed Group Registration Form and list of delegates.

You may cancel your registration minus the $300 registration fee by Jun 15 if you wish to partake in your organization's group registration.
• Once we have processed your request for a group registration, we will email all members of the group a confirmation.

Press Registration Back to Top

Any member of the broadcast, print, and Internet media who can prove they work for an organization or publication that covers computer security on a regular basis can apply for a free press pass.

We welcome anyone to apply for press credentials but reserve the right to deny you a pass. As such, please be prepared to show us copies of your articles, either at your publication's Web site or on the publication's masthead, should we request it.

At the show, please be able to present a business card, and government issued picture id, article on your organization's masthead and contact information for your assignment editor should we need it to validate your credentials before issuing you a pass.

During the conference we will provide a press room with Internet access and electrical outlets for laptop computers. If you need a separate room for filming interviews, please request it in advance in the comments section. Let us know if there are any other special needs such as speakers you want to interview when you arrive or other items such as computer access to file stories or a fax machine.

• Press registration is usually granted for the Briefings only.
• Press passes for Training are rare, determined on a case by case basis upon request.

Please make a point to pre-register. Should you attempt to attain credentials on-site, we cannot guarantee you will qualify and must bring all information in the above paragraph.
