The Cybersecurity Initiative cordially invites your company to join other industry leaders to become a donor to the inaugural IEEE Cybersecurity Development (SecDev) conference, November 3-4, 2016 in Boston, MA, USA.

We welcome corporate donations to help maintain and improve the quality of the conference. Your support allows us to reduce the costs of student registration fees and travel costs, and as a result to bring highly qualified student attendees. The donation will also help support activities such as the social events, which enhances the conference for all participants.

The event will be an excellent opportunity for donors to expose your company’s brand, logo, and messages to the world’s leading security researchers, practitioners, decision makers, and potential future employees. Academic institutions and students will be represented, and many leaders from industry and government agencies will attend in search of security-related technologies and services. Donating to SecDev is a great way to reach people who think deeply and in a sustained way about computer security and privacy. If you or your company benefit from research in security and privacy, please consider supporting the conference.

We are pleased to offer benefits to our donors, and provide several donation levels for your considerations. Please contact the Donations Chair at secdev16-donations@ieee.org for more information on how your institution can participate, and with any questions or particular requests you may have (e.g., how a portion of your donation can be set aside for student support).
