HONOLULU, HI - Following the great success that we had at the first
Shakacon - the second annual Shakacon security conference - where
industry, government, academia and independent experts will get together
to share knowledge - will be held in the heart of Honolulu on June
10-11, 2008. One of the most beautiful places on Earth will be the
backdrop for a unique conference experience. Informative sessions will
present both current research and practical experience on a broad range
of security topics.

Shakacon will offer local, national, and international participants a
casual, social learning environment designed to present a "holistic"
security view and the opportunity to network with peers and fellow
enthusiasts in a relaxed setting.
  
During the day, sessions will include: best practices, case studies,
research projects, etc. covering all different aspects of security to
offer a layered view of the security landscape. Expect topics as wide
ranging as security training to forensic investigations. There will be
something for everyone. After-hours, the learning will continue with
exciting events and contests that will test skills and knowledge.
 
Papers may be submitted to the review committee by April 18th, 2008.
Slides for your papers must be submitted by May 9th, 2008.
 
There are only a limited number of speaking sessions for which the
conference organizers will provide travel and accommodations.
 
E-Mail your proposal including: brief topic summary, paper, and bio to
info@shakacon.org. Your subject line should include:

The audience will be a broad mix of professional, academic, and

on all aspects of security. The key criteria are practicality and
timeliness. We want to provide our attendees with materials they can
