Limited resources and a new national cyber security initiative highlight need for regional security conferences

PORTLAND, Ore., Dec. 1 /PRNewswire/ -- Contrary to the fate of many conferences in 2009, SecureWorld Expo is thriving as security professionals find that they have limited resources for travel and training. This, coupled with the renewed national cyber security awareness initiative has led to significant 2009 growth for SecureWorld. With an average growth of nearly 11% in each region this past year, SecureWorld has found a formula for success in a recessed economy.

"When we formed SecureWorld eight years ago, national events were hurting. We always felt the regional model was a better way to get in front of true end users. Clearly our numbers through 2009 support that." -Michael O'Gara, Founder, SecureWorld Expo

SecureWorld works with executive level security professionals in each city to custom design a conference to meet the needs of each region. This input is translated into conference content, speakers, and technologies seen at the conference. SecureWorld offers security professionals local educational conferences, extended training and networking opportunities, all while alleviating travel expenses for companies. This regional format, coupled with the input from local executives, creates relevant and informative conferences for attendees and has contributed to the success of the 2009 events series.

Along with a regional approach to content, nationally recognized security companies use SecureWorld as a way to meet and network with security professionals that are within the region. By bringing the national security companies together with local security professionals, attendees are able to seek out solutions to their enterprise security needs in an effective and efficient manner.

SecureWorld Expo is currently planning for the 2010 year with nine regionally based events; Houston, Boston, Atlanta, Philadelphia, Bay Area, Detroit, Seattle, Dallas and, in its inaugural year, Phoenix.

SecureWorld helps IT professionals earn required CPE training credits, while cutting travel expenses with nine IT conferences located in different regions throughout the U.S. SecureWorld is at the intersection of Information Security, Physical Security, Compliance, IT Audit, Computer Forensics, Enterprise Risk Management, Business Continuity and Security Management.
