Greetings, and welcome to the inagural 2010 Secure360 Conference newsletter! We've been hard at work over the summer preparing to bring you the best conference to date. We have several new members of our team joining veterans from the past conferences, and everyone is excited about this year's event. Below are some key highlights of our activities over the past few months:

• We've issued our 2010 Call for Papers! We encourage everyone interested in speaking at our conference to submit a proposal by January 8th, 2010. For more information, see the full article later in this newsletter.

• Looking for a way to give back to the Minneapolis security community? Why not help select next year's speakers, greet conference attendees, or assist with making our speakers feel welcome during the conference! We are currently seeking sixty volunteers to help in one of these three fields. If you are interested, please continue reading for more information on the benefits of volunteering and how to register.

• Follow us on Twitter! We have recently re-lanched our presence on Twitter.com. Take a moment to follow "Secure360". We're always looking for feedback, so if you have any comments or suggestions for next year's conference, this is one way to be heard. Hope to see your Tweets!

Over the next few months, we'll be highlighting our featured speakers, launching a guest bloger program, and much more. Stay tuned, we're just getting started!
