** LATEST UPDATE: We have managed to secure a bigger room. We are opening up more seats now--please feel free to sign up! ** Join Phil Porras from SRI International as he shares his experiences in deploying secure software-defined networks (SDNs) and discuss upcoming technologies developed by SRI to reduce the risk of deploying SDNs. Phil will also provide attendees with a sneak peek at an OpenFlow security project in progress at SRI. Following Phil's presentation, Matthew Davy and Chris Small from Indiana University's InCNTRE, who are in charge of one of the largest real-world deployments of SDNs and OpenFlow, will be on-hand to kick-off a Birds of a Feather (BoF) session discussing the security implications of software-defined networks. We encourage networking and security professionals involved with OpenFlow initiatives at their organizations to come join us for a night of lively discussion and ideas exchange. The BoF will wrap up with a mixer organized by Wiretap Ventures with the support of Indiana University, SRI, and SDNCentral. Drinks and light appetizers will be served. For those interested in learning more about software-defined networking and the advent of programmable networks, Indiana University and Wiretap Ventures are jointly organizing educational sessions on Feb 28th and Feb 29th.

As such, vendor participation is welcomed but will accommodated only on a space-available basis.
