The Advanced Technical Intelligence Association TECHINT conference will
be held 9-11 Dec 2008. This conference focuses on the technical
dimensions of intelligence, and has a theme of “integrated
performance.” The theme refers to the need to integrate capabilities
from all the agencies engaged in national security to better perform in
meeting our national security challenges. On 9 Dec I’ll be speaking
at a panel on the real and growing threat in cyber space. There will
be no blogging or tweeting from the conference. But if you are going
to be there please drop me a note and lets connect in person there.

This unclas conference follows a model that AFCEA has been using for
several similar events. They are actively seeking ways to enhance the
value of these conferences by leveraging more Web2.0 capabilities
before, during and after the formal presentations. Blogging and
tweeting from the conference is encouraged. You can visit the site at: www.afceasolutions.org/group
