"Hacking the Demo" - Super Cyber Friday

By CISO Series

Please join us on Friday August 16, 2024 for Super Cyber Friday.

Our topic of discussion will be “Hacking the Demo: An hour of critical thinking about how to be pitch perfect.”

This will be a Super Cyber Friday not to miss. After watching lots of demos at RSA and Black Hat, we've come to the realization that there are two kinds of demos. The ones you remember and you tell others about, and the ones that you completely forget.

Participating in this discussion are two security professionals who have watched more demos than you have ever watched:

Joining David Spark (@dspark), producer of CISO Series for this discussion will be:
  • Howard Holton, CTO and industry analyst, GigaOm
  • Tom Hollingsworth, organizer and networking analyst, Tech Field Day
In preparation for our discussion, think about the following:
  • What makes a good demo?
  • Does the show dictate a good demo? Does a great RSA Conference demo play different at Black Hat?
  • How much does a successful demo at a trade show translate to sales?
  • What is the value to demoing companies for being at Black Hat? What is the value to attendees?
  • What makes a bad demo? Are all demo fails bad demos?
  • How can a company successfully build off a demo?
  • What can't you find out from a trade show demo?
It all starts at 1 PM Eastern/10 AM Pacific. At the end of the hour [2 PM Eastern/11 AM Pacific] we'll switch gears to our meetup where everyone will get a chance to chat face to face.
ALSO...
  • Best bad ideas get first responses in "Department of YES" or “Beat the Bad Idea”.
  • The BEST bad idea wins an award and a really awesome CISO Series jacket. Also, if you register early by the Tuesday (5pm PT) of that week’s video chat, you will be entered into a raffle where one lucky register will win a jacket (Winners must be US residents. Repeat winners get a $25 Amazon gift card).
Super Cyber Fridays are open discussions where all viewers and listeners are welcome to become participants. Before the scheduled event, connect your webcam and microphone (avoid Bluetooth). During the discussion, if you have a question or comment, let it be known in the chat room and our producer will do his best to get as many of you into the conversation. We look forward to you joining us.
