The Road to CEIC 2012 – Meet Me! at CEIC v12

Jessica Bair The “Road to CEIC 2012” is a series of blog posts on all things CEIC (@CEIC_Conf), before, during and after, from an insider’s point of view.

We just had the official CEIC briefing for all Guidance Software, Inc. staff attending this year…and goodness it is going to be a fabulous event: CEIC v12!

It will be the biggest CEIC to date, approaching 2,000 of your peers, experts and practitioners in attendance. Over 50 sponsors will be filling the exhibit hall, representing the best in computer forensic, e-discovery and cybersecurity products and services; where you will have an opportunity to put your hands on the new Tableau TD3 Forensic Duplicator and other new Tableau forensic duplicators and bridges. The Red Rock Resort will be bursting with activity, with regular shuttle service to the overflow hotels, The Element and JW Marriott.

Registration opens at 9:00 a.m. on Monday, May 21; with the Opening Keynote at 3pm, with Victor Limongelli, president and chief executive officer. Afterwards, the sessions begin and you will find me in the Cyber Response lab with Tim Dillman of Fishnet Security, who is also the co-sponsor of the Guidance Software CISO Summit, an exclusive event for information security executives and thought leaders. There are 11 labs or presentations the first evening alone…something for everyone. Then, we can all meet up at the Welcome Reception from 6:00-8:00 p.m. at the pool. Bring your business cards and Smartphones to exchange contacts. You will want to be up for breakfast and the second session at 8:00 a.m. on Tuesday; followed by the Industry Keynote by General Richard Myers, Retired, 15th Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff at 9:30 a.m.

For those planning to take the EnCE® or EnCEP® phase I test, there are eight time slots available this year; held in a quiet room where you can concentrate. The certification check-in will be next to registration, and you will likely have a chance to meet Miautra Dias in person, the fabulous Certification Coordinator who manages hundreds of applications, exam results and renewals every year.

For EnCase Enterprise users looking for some one-on-one technical time with an SME, there will be a Meet the EnCase Experts room for private discussions with Daniel Smyth and Bradley Le-Roy, veteran and skilled principal consultants with Professional Services. If you are looking forward to meeting a Guidance Software staff member at CEIC, ask him or her to book a Meet Me! At CEIC room so you can have a quiet place to talk and confer. If you would like to share your enthusiasm for EnCase products and Guidance Software services, ask a staff member about recording your own video testimonial while at CEIC. There will also be a killer deal on a Forensics Investigation Package for CEIC attendees, including EnCase Forensic v7, Passware Kit Forensic, EnCase Portable, and one year EnCase SMS…look in your registration materials for details.

Also, new this year is the Rotunda area with two exhibits you won’t want to miss. First is the E-Discovery Done Right Rotunda, where you can learn about all things e-discovery, get ideas on how to streamline your e-discovery processes and meet CaseCentral, the newest member of the Guidance Software family. Second is the EnCase App Central Rotunda, where you can learn about the introduction of the online exchange for EnScripts.

Questions? Grab a Guidance Software staff member and we will be happy to assist. You will find our team wearing a Guidance Software pin or blue polo shirt to help you identify us. Staff members who are lecturing or leading a lab will be sporting a black Guidance Software polo; and you will notice dozens of employees wearing orange t-shirts to help you with session check-ins and other questions.

CEIC v12 is going to be THE premier event for the exchange of best practices in digital investigations!
