Gen. Keith B. Alexander, chief of U.S. Cyber Command and director of National Security Agency, is kicking off AFCEA‘s 10th annual Homeland Security Conference held in Washington, D.C., next month.
This year’s conference, titled “Working Together Today for a More Secure Tomorrow,” takes place at the Ronald Reagan International Trade Center, Feb. 22-24, 2011. Attendees include government and industry IT professionals, CIOs, and program managers working in operations, policy and procurement.
As the keynote speaker, Alexander will address cybersecurity priorities, including coordination among federal agencies. The intersection of federal, state and local requirements will be the focus of Wednesday’s lunch speaker, D.C.’s Chief of Police Cathy Lanier.
Panel sessions will cover identity management, interagency collaboration, secure information-sharing, border security, and person-centric screening. Additionally, sessions will focus on critical cyber and homeland security cross-over issues, such as situational awareness, training and education, and privacy and security conflicts.
The Technology Showcase will highlight the latest homeland security technologies, including communications equipment, emergency response systems, network and information security, and more. Exhibitors will display products and solutions for law enforcement, federal government, military, and commercial applications.
The exhibits are open to the public (on-site registration required); there is a registration fee to attend the speakers and panel sessions. For further information on the event, visit AFCEA’s website.
