I can, however, tell you what it will be about. Much like Buffy,
the story of cyberwar is one of change and accomplishment. It's
about small teams that do great things, and unspeakable evils
lurking under the veneer of our society. And I'm going to
illustrate that with examples, and do so in a way that does not
get me arrested in Singapore, or, for that matter, on my arrival
back into Miami.<br>
<br>
And I promise Ben will disagree, violently, with nearly all of
it.<br>

First things first. The Keynote.
After skiving off for a few years, the one and only Dave "I REALLY LOVE ANTS"
Aitel is back with us in Singapore. To my mind, a lot of "thought leaders" in
"cyber" are actually just people who can mostly write in complete sentences and
know how to manage their press hookups. True thinkers, however, are the ones
with whom you initially disagree, sometimes violently, sometimes in an
overwhelming majority until suddenly, one day, you realise that they were right
all along. Despite his slightly creepy obsession with formicidae, Dave is one of
those thinkers, and if you don't get up early to make into the Keynote you are
definitely going to regret it.
I haven't actually got his title to hand, which means that, according to the
rules, I get to make it up. (It might be about something else entirely)
KEYNOTE: Dave Aitel - What's At Stake? - Everything Buffy The Vampire Slayer
Taught Me About Cyberwar
