Based on the great success of the groundbreaking Focus 08, McAfee and EVI have partnered again to produce Focus 09, a conference quickly becoming the world’s most important gathering of cyber security professionals.

McAfee is a global leader and innovator in the cyber security industry.

As with last year’s inaugural event, EVI took single source accountability, managing and producing the conference from top to bottom. (See Focus 08 case study for a detailed listing of project management responsibilities).

Highlights from this year’s show at The Palazzo in Las Vegas included an insightful and motivating keynote speech from former US Secretary of State, General Colin Powell.

McAfee President and CEO Dave DeWalt opened the conference with a “state of the industry” address and outlined his company’s advanced strategy for protecting businesses in the intense battle on cybercrime.

General Sessions were delivered in an intimate theater in the round, allowing speakers a closer, more interactive relationship with the audience.  High-Def screens surrounded the perimeter of the room providing perfect sightlines from every position.
