The deadline to propose a subject to present at the UCCSC2009--Focus on Security conference has been extended to Friday, Feb. 27. Thanks to the successful recruitment of event sponsors, the event registration fee will be waived for all presenters.

The conference, which combines the biennial UC Davis IT Security Symposium with the yearly University of California Computing Services Conference, will take place June 16-17 on campus. The lineup includes presentations by university and industry experts, plus opportunities for networking. Registration will cost less than $125.

Conference planners extended the proposal deadline in response to several requests. For more information, or to submit proposals, visit the conference Web site.
