Launch Cyber of the CentreSecurity 18th September 2012 Sponsorship Opportunities www.softbox.co.uk 01347 812100
Welcome The launch of the Cyber Security Centre at De Montfort University will mark the opening of an exciting new chapter in the teaching and research of cyber protection. This will be the first in a series of annual conferences at De Montfort University and will bring together an international community from the public and private sectors, academia, law enforcement, defence and third sector providing a unique opportunity for you to strategically market your solutions and proactively position your company in the market place. The Vice Chancellor of De Montfort University, Professor Dominic Shellard, will give the opening address which will then be followed by a series of keynote speeches from high-profile senior figures from government and industry in the UK, Sweden and the USA. This launch event and subsequent conferences will break the pattern of public rehearsals of the scale and depth of the complexities and challenges of the Information Age that is all too often the hallmark of cyber themed events. Everyone contributing to the event will be challenged to move beyond defining a problem and instead offer suggestions for solutions. As a community of security experts we need to unlock the vast and unrivalled potential of the interconnected computer systems at the heart of the cyber domain. The Cyber Security Centre at De Montfort University is a significant contribution to an already vibrant and growing academic sector in the United Kingdom. The Centre builds on and extends the UK's existing capability by adding both depth and breadth to the multi-disciplinary approach and to the collaboration between the public sector, academia and industry. The Centre continues to enhance the advancing reputation of the UK as a world leader in the field of cyber protection. The Centre is undertaking research, education and training that is making a direct and sustained contribution to the growth and competitiveness of UK business and to the employability of UK citizens. At the launch event, a number of initiatives will be announced including: Innovative new training courses to help close the cyber skills gap. A permanent exhibition of crypto machines together with education events, ongoing research and a fund to grow the collection. The development of the cyber debates a series of formal debates between policy makers and other high-level key players internationally to help progress the debates around the global and local approaches to be taken on a number of key issues. The launch of a new international journal devoted to developing a multi-disciplinary approach to cyber protection and security. www.softbox.co.uk 01347 812100

Why Sponsor? This one day event is being held in the Hugh Aston Building at De Montfort University, Leicester and is expected to attract over 250 delegates including influential senior figures from the UK and international cyber community. Delivery through a partnership with industry is key to this event and our sponsorship packages have been carefully shaped to ensure there is something to suit everyone. We understand how important it is for us to meet your needs as well as adding value to the experience enjoyed by the delegates attending. Building Brand Awareness Sponsorship of this event is an important brand awareness opportunity. There are a range of opportunities to suit every budget, ensuring your company remains at the forefront of the delegates mind. Sponsors will also benefit from enhanced brand exposure in web and printed collateral, before, during and after the event. Meet New Contacts and Strengthen Relationships Maximising networking opportunities for our delegates and sponsors is a priority and the agenda for this event provides ample time as all refreshments, including lunch will be served in the exhibition area. During this time you will have the opportunity to build a comprehensive contact database, generate leads and even make direct sales. In an increasingly digital age, no other medium offers the level of interaction an exhibition offers. There are many ways for customers to source information, but it is at events such as this that they can put a supplier s claims to the test by examining the products themselves, questioning their creators and comparing and contrasting their performance in one place at one time. www.softbox.co.uk 01347 812100
