Subject: Registering for hotels for The 8th FIRST Conference and Workshop
The 8th FIRST Conference and Workshop on Computer Security Incident
Handling and Response
######### SPECIAL NOTE SPECIAL NOTE SPECIAL NOTE ########
It is very important that if you have any plans to attend, please
register and make your hotel reservations *NOW*. This is very
important because of several factors:
1) Hotel occupancy is at all time high for this summer
and with the Usenix conference the week before, hotels
will be filled.
2) The hotel will only honor the FIRST conference rate
of $135/night till June 27, 1996. After this date, the rate
will only be provided on a space available basis.
The regular non-FIRST rate is $199/night.
3) The price of gas has increased greatly in the California
area and travel prices will be going up as the summer
travel season starts. People will use hotels more and
drive less.
4) Also the price of the conference does go up after July 13,
1996 and that date is quickly approaching.

The annual FIRST Conference and workshop event is the only event of its
kind. This event is specifically focused on the field of computer
security incident handling and response. Past conferences have been
held in Karlsruhe, Germany and Boston, Massachusetts, US. Each of these
conferences was international in scope and attendance with presentations
on the latest in vulnerability analysis, incident response, prevention,
and general computer security. Additionally, these conferences served
as the foundation for the improvement of computer security worldwide
via sharing of goals, ideas, and information.
The 1996 8th Annual FIRST Conference promises to continue this ground
breaking work. Occurring in the heart of the Silicon Valley, home of the
microprocessor and the heartbeat of computing, this years conference will
continue to promote FIRST organization goals of worldwide coordination
and cooperation.

international organization that brings together a variety of computer
security incident response teams. These teams include government,
commercial, and academic organizations.
World-wide, FIRST aims to foster cooperation and coordination in
incident prevention, to prompt rapid reaction to incidents, and to
promote information sharing among members and the global community
at large.

Meet other security professionals in the area of incident
and response.
Improve your security program with the ideas presented.
Save time searching for tools and resources.
Join in the sharing of a wide range of experience and knowledge.
