The ITSEF is providing the opportunity for attendees to sit down in an informal and intimate (8 - 10 per table) setting with security leaders from private industry, Federal Government and venture capital.

  • What solutions are the industry and government buyers looking for?
  • What government requirements and processes do I need to know before I pursue the Federal Government market?
  • What are the current trends and needs and how are the emerging risks shaping the marketplace?
  • Understanding the venture capital investment decision making process. What are these investors looking for?
  • What are system integrators highest priorities and what do I need to know in order to partner with them?
