The Northwest Security Symposium is a two day event centered on a topic that affects all of us: computer and information security. Presented by the Grey Hat Group, this educational conference will provide a broad perspective and in-depth technical sessions based on leading information assurance and cyber security topics. This event invites local businesses, military personnel, and Fortune 500 corporations to interact with each other, increase awareness of critical issues, and view important academic and industry presentations.

The Grey Hat Group is a student organization at the University of Washington, Tacoma, organized by Computing and Software Systems students, whose mission is to research all aspects of computer security, including network security and information assurance and share that information with the regional community.
