INPUT FROM THE PEANUT GALLERY

Sponsoring a rather odd ball, motley bunch of information security professionals can really grab the attention of your boss. If you're a technology vendor and would like to sponsor the Security MBA group please contact Dan Houser, Dan Clark or Edward McCabe following any Security MBA meeting.

So whats the benefit to sponsoring you ask? Easy...

1. You can make lots of contacts within the local Columbus community in a relatively short amount of time and cost less than meeting folks individually . Participants drop off their business cards and the sponsor gets them at the end of the night.
2. You have 3-4 minutes to pitch your company and give a quick run down on what you/your company does. (Sales Pitch/Captive Audience).
3. You get to clean out the corporate closets of all that left over swag - geeks like free swag!!!
4. You can tell your spouse/significant other "No, I have to go out to the bar, it's really business."
5. You can tell your boss "No, I have to go out to the bar, it's really business." (Tip: May want to bring boss)
6. You get to see your bosses face when you both show up and he/she realizes you're not attempting to pull a scam on corporate by having them pick up a bar tab for your friends/family from out of town. (Tip: You make a bet with him to pick up the tab if there's anyone there)
7. You can meet some of the most interesting individuals from around Ohio and within the Information Security Industry
