For a while over the past few years it seemed like there was a security show a month. It got so watered down that it was hard finding any value in some of these shows. Over the last few years though in a case of natural selection I guess, many of these shows began falling by the way side. This past year I have attended a few good shows and over all I would say the shows have been better attended. I think shows that have great content and not just a trade and exhibit floor provide the value that people want to see.

In any event, the folks at SC Magazine first approached me about show they were planning in the NY area, around the time of RSA. I think a good security show in the Northeast would be great. I also have a lot of respect and admiration for the Haymarket Media group who run SC Magazine. So I am really happy to write about the first SC Magazine World Congress taking place December 9and 10th at the Javits Center in NYC. I will be there for sure and hopefully you will be too! Mark your calendars.
