Dear FedCyber Speakers,

On behalf of Matt Devost and myself we would like to thank you for agreeing to engage with the cyber security community through the 6 Nov FedCyber Summit. We are still about three weeks out from the event but wanted to connect with you early to give you some more information and ask if you have any questions. We will follow up soon with more info.

Date: 6 Nov 2013

Location: Crystal Gateway Marriott, Arlington, VA 22202

Purpose: Help the cyber security community do their job better. Focus on information of use to practitioners, especially those in and around the federal cyber community.

About the audience: Registration numbers continue to climb for the event and we expect to see a gathering of 250 cyber security practitioners in attendance. Attendees are coming from across the three branches of government. Several industry CISOs will also be attending.

About the press: We are not allowing press to this event and will be announcing at the event that no blogging or other commenting on the event should be done. We are doing this so speakers will be more inclined to be open. No sessions will be recorded (we do have a video team recording presentations on our expo floor, they will not be recording speakers).

Please plan on attending the speaker’s reception the afternoon of 5 Nov. We are asking speakers to gather at this reception for two reasons: 1) We would like you to have an opportunity to meet with other speakers and discuss the event and conduct any last minute strategizing to make this the best possible event for the community, and 2) We would like to shake your hand in person and thank you for your participation. The reception will be held at Sine Irish Pub & Restaurant at Pentagon City 5 Nov starting at 5pm.
