InfoSec Canada
This year I had a chance to visit InfoSec Canada for the first time, it was also my first time at a "trade show". I was initially impressed and surprised by the size and quality of some of the displays. After wandering around a bit I was surprised by how few people were present... I guess there were a lot of people, but most of them were wearing Exhibitor name tags. From what I picked up at the booths the previous day had been busier.
I managed to have decent discussion with the sales people from a few different companies, namely CORE Security, F-Secure, eEye and PatchLink. I also had a decent discussion with an account executive from Robert Half Technology.
I also managed to walk away with a decent haul of swag as well...
