To clarify the difference, there is a difference between the two events. The first link by Avri isn't the offical conference, it's the inter-governmental event on Nov. 1-2 CS should be concerned about.<br><br>To provide a little more context to the event:<br>
<br><a href="http://www.theregister.co.uk/2011/07/26/cyber_hague_event/">http://www.theregister.co.uk/2011/07/26/cyber_hague_event/</a><br><br><a href="http://www.theregister.co.uk/2011/10/20/bring_economics_into_freedom_debate/">http://www.theregister.co.uk/2011/10/20/bring_economics_into_freedom_debate/</a><br>
<br>From everything I have heard so far this will be a very high level event attempting to focus the debate on cyber security at the expense of most other internet governance issues. <br><br>Ben<br><br><br><br><div class="gmail_quote">

This event sounds very much like a trade show on security, with a major sponsor Endace, a New Zealand company looking for worldwide expansion. Somehow, advertising the event smacks of show business, one day boondoggling in London for £995 + VAT registration. Are the good times coming back ?<br>

Hi,<br>
<br>
This monstrosity was pointed out to me the other day.<br>
<br>
<a href="http://www.cybersecuritysummit.co.uk/" target="_blank">http://www.cybersecuritysummit.co.uk/</a><br>
<br>
As far as i can tell it is another conference on IG without Civil society representation, though a fair amount of business - the business especially who make a great part of their living from selling the tools of so called security.<br>
<br>
Have I missed the discussion of this on this list?<br>
