Conference Location

SANS Helsinki 2006 will be located at Scandic Grand Marina Hotel in Helsinki. This is SANS' first time in Finland teaching its advanced Information Security education program. The class will be taught by one of SANS' leading Instructors - Jess Garcia. Details on the classes and the Instructor are available on the website.
