On March 20, 2015, the South Florida Chapter of the Information System Security Association (ISSA) had our biennial Security Conference.
Each time we do these conferences, we try to have a theme. The one I had come up with was regarding Cloud Security, as that seems to be a big concern. So I called it "Pirates in the Cloud: Security Issues, Threats, and Trends in Cloud Computing". We encouraged people to submit proposed that tied into that, and would fall into one of 3 broad categories: technical, management, law/compliance.
With a sort of "Air Pirates" idea, we developed some interesting name badges and plaques. I wanted to get away from the standard conference stuff.
