"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

"I usually cannot attend the big events, so the opportunity to see so much and to talk shop with colleagues was very useful." -Richard P

"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 Drews and John Wekenborg's presentations on the use of layered perimeter security was particularly interesting to me." -Anonymous

"The Security Technology Forum was great. This is the only local security forum that is in the Washington, DC area yearly. I attend this to keep up with the latest Security technology, and Chesapeake & Midlantic Marketing again delivered. The people working at Chesapeake & Midlantic Marketing are immensely helpful and always willing to take the time to answer your questions. I highly recommend attending this Security Technology Forum if you want to stay on the leading edge of security technology." -Timothy A
