Security, Privacy, and the Generation Gap
Bruce Schneier (view bio)
Chief Security Technology Officer,
BT
Bruce Schneier is an internationally renowned security technologist and author. Described by The Economist as a "security guru," he is best known as a refreshingly candid and lucid security critic and commentator. When people want to know how security really works, they turn to Schneier. Regularly quoted in the media, he has testified on security before Congress and has written articles and op eds for many major publications.
The Internet is the greatest generation gap since rock and roll. The older of us need to be prepared for a younger generation that lives life on the Internet, doesn't understand where their computer or smart phone ends and the Internet begins, shares passwords with their friends as a sign of trust, and deliberately lies when registering for services. At the same time, both technological and business trends point to less user control (both security and privacy), and laws are leaving these trends alone. What will security and privacy look like in this new world? Someone needs to figure it out.

In this keynote, Mr. Clarke will discuss the confluence of technology, government and military strategy - as well as criminals, spies, hackers and other actors who have the potential to wreak havoc on our interrelated world. Cyberspace has become the next war fighting domain, and Mr. Clarke advises that there must be an open, candid and international discussion about cyber war in order to ensure accountability and safety in this new age.

Alexis Conran (view bio)
Star of the hit television show "The Real Hustle" on BBC 3
Star of BBC3's hugely popular THE REAL HUSTLE, Alexis Conran has turned the world of scamming into an entertaining art form and is acknowledged both as a uniquely talented performer and someone you do not want to be playing cards with. Born in Paris but raised in Greece and, aged 16, came to London.
After studying at LAMDA, Alexis followed a curious desire to study the art of magic and his training inevitably re-acquainted him with an old friend - the pack of cards. Within three years he was working as a professional magician specialising in card cheating. He started performing at exotic, celebrity-fuelled private parties worldwide.
Whilst working as an actor on the horror film BELOW Alexis was asked to join some of the actors in a poker game. During one round he noticed one of the players cheating by stacking the deck before the deal. Alexis decided to use his card skills to make it impossible for the cheat to win. The cheat could not accuse him of cheating because he knew that he had been made. That game kick-started a whole new career for Alexis and his magic shows became exhibitions in fraud, cons, dice, casino and card cheating as he was able to use his acting skills to get into character.
In 2003, he was part of a team asked to advise the writers and actors on the hit TV series HUSTLE for the BBC. His extensive knowledge of hustling, pickpockets and con artists gave the show an authenticity that didn't go unnoticed. Following this, Alexis was asked to star in a new TV show for the BBC, THE REAL HUSTLE, which, since its debut in 2005, has become one of BBC3's flagship series.
Alexis has recently become a contributor to BBC's Watchdog and helps show consumers how to avoid becoming the victim of a fraud.
Alexis draws on his expertise in working with people through his magic to deliver speeches helping people to understand how to communicate and inspire confidence. In his words his abilities in magic and mind reading rely on his ability to convey to his audience the messages he wants them to understand. These abilities are absolutely essentially every day in working life and Alexis helps understand these body language and communication messages.
At corporate events Alexis can adapt his style to suit all environments-from close-up magic to banquets and after dinner cabaret to key note conference speaking. He has performed his act all over the World and it is a wonderful blend of entertainment and education for all who are fascinated by the world of hustlers and fraud.
Part raconteur, part magician, part card-sharp and hustler, Alexis Conran makes the perfect addition to any event.
