I had to take a different approach this year to make a list of Hot ISC West Sessions. This year’s array of topics and speakers are so fantastic that it’s impossible not to be frustrated about the fact that you can only be in one place (one session) at one time. So I made a list of tough choices so that you can take a divide-and-conquer approach, to make sure that between yourself and your colleagues and friends, you can cover the “don’t miss” sessions.
For each time period, selected sessions and the links to the session and speaker information are provided.
I know many of the presenters and most of the rest by reputation, and I highly recommend their sessions.
