Periodicly I find it helpful to post my travel schedule in case anyone wants to take advantage of the opportunity to meet up. 

This week I will be presenting at an event in Bogota on Thursday, April 3rd.  Topic: “Preparing for the coming cyber war”. 

Next week it will be RSA in San Francisco of course. Note the “Official RSA Blogger” medallion.  I arrive Sunday night, depart on the red-eye Thursday.  Look for me on the show floor or hanging out in the press room.  I already have 22 apointments. 

April 17th I will be the luncheon keynote speaker at the Western Canada Info-Sec Conference in Winnipeg. My first trip to that area since the total solar eclipse of 1979.  

April 23rd is the Boise, Idaho ISSA InfoSec conference .  

Hope to see you on the road!
