Sessions

This year we are excited to offer 16 breakout sessions, divided into three tracks–Technical, Hands-on Labs and Vendors.

Technical Track – As you can guess from the title, these are technical discussions, not sales pitches. This year the talks will range from a wireless crash course to low tech hacking, from network and application hacking to mobile security. Our speakers are experts in their fields.
Hands-on Labs – NEW this year at Hot Topics! We will have two hands-on lab sessions– HP Networking in the morning and Meru (wireless) in the afternoon. These are great labs to dive in and get some hands-on experience with the technologies. CAD’s engineers, along with system engineers from HP and Meru, will be on hand to show you the ropes. Learn more here.
Vendor Track – Engineers from CAD’s partnering companies will be here to demonstrate their different technologies. Juniper, SonicWALL, Meru/Ekahau, HP Networking, HP ESSN and Bradford will all show you what’s best about their products.
