You have been selected as a candidate for The Department of Homeland Security and The Kauffman Foundation IT Security Entrepreneurs' Forum. This invitation-only event is conducting a nationwide search to select applicants from academia, start-ups and early stage thru maturing companies to attend, learn and meet other entrepreneurs' from across the United States who also offer "best of breed" IT security solutions. This exclusive, one-day event will be held at Stanford University on March 14, 2007.

Many startups and companies offer new and innovative solutions, yet lack the resources, relationships or experience to successfully commercialize their products and services into government and industry markets.  Ironically, government leaders, industry executives and venture capitalists are constantly looking for new and improved IT security solutions.

This is truly a rare opportunity to join government, industry and venture capital leaders who fund, build, deploy and purchase innovative IT Security Solutions.  This Forum will offer comprehensive panel discussions led by seasoned venture and entrepreneurial thought leaders on how to navigate the critical first years of IT security ventures.  A select group of corporate and government IT security leaders from The White House, DHS, Sun Microsystems, Oracle, eBay and other entities, will discuss market trends and their current needs to help you understand how you can best address these market opportunities and bring success to your venture. 

A review committee of selected representatives from venture capital and industry, as well as principal investigators and research analysts will screen nationwide applications based on their IT security focus, vision and differentiation. Apply now as the application deadline is February 5, 2007, or after 175 applicants have successfully passed the screening committee evaluation. The early bird registration fee of $295.00 (a $100 discount) will be available for all applications submitted prior to January 21, 2007.
