This year’s Ohio Information Security Conference will be the fifteenth year that Technology First has hosted the event. The audience will be managers responsible for security policy and administrative decisions and technicians responsible for security implementation and effectiveness.
Technology First is seeking proposals for speaker participation in the March 7, 2018 Ohio Information Security Conference hosted in Dayton, Ohio. A session can be a formal presentation of a successful implementation, administrative solution, or technical solution.

All proposals will be reviewed by the Security Conference Committee and proposal respondents will be notified of decisions on or after December 8, 2017.
