This is the second ISSA Conference I've attended. I thought this was was pretty good. We had a couple of good keynote sessions (Vinton Cerf and Dan Geer). There were several sessions organized into different tracks, and all were tied to the ISSA's Cybersecurity Career Lifecycle model. There were a few other special events, such as CISO Forum luncheon and the awards luncheon where several were recognized with ISSA Awards. There was also a reception at 360 Chicago at the John Hancock Center.
This year they had a conference app, which I've seen such used at other events I attend. This one also had people scan QR codes on name badges, at the vendor tables, and at events and sessions. Those who got the most would get prizes. So, obviously, at an infosec conference, some hacked the app.
They had a good number of vendors this year, tho many I had never heard of. Disappointed that some of the major security vendors weren't there.
As a chapter officer, I also attended the Chapter Leaders Summit. A good event. I almost wish it was longer.
Next year's conference will be in Dallas around the same time. Hopefully I can attend.
