RiSK 2009 conference sponsorship
|
Cooperate with us as a sponsor of RiSK 2009 conference and help us in our effort to bring Slovenian and regional information technology to a higher level. This is an achievement that is bound to have a significant positive effect on the broader business and social environment also. We simply can’t speak about computer security, business continuity technologies and about secure data storage regulations as of something new anymore. No, this is already old stuff, important old stuff of great interest to everybody, not just a closed group of professionals. These topics are important key factors in business communications and social connectivity and therefore the general computer security is the responsibility of us all. The RiSK 2009 conference is being carefully planned and organized. Even right now as you read this we are probably reviewing final steps in communication and media activities to promote the event, for which we expect a good public response due to a wide media coverage.

This year we are expecting more than 200 guests, personally I hope on 300, guests of different profiles from government and financial organizations, manufacturing and insurance companies, retail enterprises and representatives of small and medium businesses.
