RENO, Aug. 26, 2002 -- The inaugural Computer Crimes Expo™, an international exposition and conference focusing on products, services and solutions designed to fight the growing plague of crimes committed on and with computers worldwide, will be held at the newly-expanded Reno Convention Center, May 6-8, 2003.
Before the necessary advent of the Computer Crimes Expo (C2Expo™, www. computercrimesexpo. com), corporate and business executives, government and law enforcement officials, Internet service providers (ISPs), educators and those charged with purchasing for consumer-oriented retailers had to search through trade show directories and exhibits to find what they really came to see,” said Brenda Beckelman, president of Savvy Solutions, producer of C2Expo.
“Now,” she said, “the Computer Crimes Expo will bring together at one time in one place the best of the best across all industry lines, uniting the technologies with the single focus of stemming and stopping the growing tide of computer-based crime.”
Grounding the Skyrocket That is Computer Crime
Just last month, Neal Katyal wrote in The New York Times that Computer Crime is skyrocketing, with one recent study finding that 90 percent of corporations surveyed have suffered a computer break-in during the last year. And as more private data is placed on computer networks, from health information to romantic e-mail messages, the non-economic harms from hackers will rapidly increase," said David A. Kaminer, co-founder and show director of C2Expo, and formerly the long-time spokesperson for COMDEX.
“Crimes committed on and with computers represents an international epidemic that continues to spiral out of control, he said. Now, the Computer Crimes Expo will provide a focus on this fiscal and physical problem and showcase products, solutions and experts which can help fight and conquer tech-based computer crime.
