During the 2007 CSO Interchange Forum, there will be a series of interactive polling opportunities. The results of these instant security polls will be made available to all attendees immediately and at the conclusion of the event.

As noted, a select group of journalists will be invited to attend the event. Press will not be allowed to quote or mention attendees without their express permission. These strict guidelines provide an open forum for security executives to comment and participate freely. Forum attendees will have the opportunity to accept or decline interviews with the press as they deem appropriate.
