"The entire event was done well, I learned valuable insight and information to aid in my career. I am a cyber security student at UVA. We work with majority of the vendors at the event and it was helpful to see the technology first hand and see where it is going in the future. Looking forward to next years event!" -Haylee D

"Decided to attend because it sounded like a great way to gain some more familiarity and hands on experience with various technologies in the security industry. The exhibits were cool and I'd love to see more technologies in use! My favorite presentations included the ones that dove deeper into the hardware used and how they worked and could be used in conjunction with other devices! The presentations I enjoyed best were by: Tom Mechler, Sachin Khanna, Jeff Drews and John Wekenborg, and Dr. Danny Kent. I enjoyed these presentations the most because they gave some insight into some of the new technology that's soon to be available in the industry, as well as how to make use of this new technology. In particular, Jeff Draws and John Wekenborg's presentations on the use of layered perimeter security was particularly interesting to me." -Anonymous
