I attended this event yesterday and was hugely impressed by the organisation, the speakers and the food! This was well worth the time away from the office to hear about open source intelligence, user education regarding both personal and business data as well as a more in depth look at one of the (ISC)2 reports and a recruitment presentation on developing and maintaining a killer CV. Well done to all involved.

Thanks for your comments Dave. This was our first ever full day chapter event, and with over 80 in attendance was a great success with lots of positive feedback!

As chapter officers we worked hard to deliver our long-standing ambition of a hosting a full day conference. We are more than happy to share our experiences with any other chapter management teams if of interest.

As a chapter with no budget, and operating this event as free entry, we very much relied on our local sponsors and guest speakers to help us deliver the conference. So a massive thank you again to all our sponsors: Sage, Sapphire, (ISC)2, Nigel Wright. Also guest speakers: Mark Johnson (The Risk Management Group), Annabel Berry (Sapphire), Rachel Mullan (PwC), Allan Carchrie (PwC), Colin Slater (PwC), Tim Rawlins (NCC Group), Alastair Irons (University of Sunderland), Paul Newton (Nigel Wright), Lyndsay Turley (ISC2).
