Interesting agenda topics at APWG’s upcoming Counter eCrime Summit

The APWG is hosting it’s third Counter eCrime Summit in Barcelona in May.  The agenda of this year’s summit is particularly interesting.   Some programs that are particularly near and dear to my heart are going to be discussed including APWG’s Phishing Education Landing Page Program which has been surprisingly successful and Rod Rasmussen from Internet Identity and Greg Aaron from Afilias giving their bi-annual update on the various types of nastiness being perpetrated on the internet.

In addition, there will be specific sessions on how e-crime impacts multiple nations including those in Europe and in Asia.  Hearing about the nuances of e-crime and how they morph across the globe has always been intriguing for me and can be invaluable for those of us on the forefront of fighting this global crisis.

All in all, there are three days of discussion about the state of e-crime across the globe.  This is sure to be an educational and fascinating event.  If you’re able to attend, definitely make your reservations soon!

Also, if you are worried about cost, there was an article this past weekend in the San Jose paper about frugal travel in Barcelona.  A bad economy can make for great travel bargains!
