2015 ERII Counterespionage Conference
Dear Attendees:
On behalf of the Espionage Institute International (ERII) and its Board of
Directors, it is my great privilege to welcome you to the 2015 ERII
Counterespionage Conference!
ERII’s 2015 annual conference promises to be our best conference to date. We’re glad
you joined us!
As in past years, ERII’s membership and guests have come together to discuss
counterespionage news and events, listen to presentations by esteemed
counterespionage professionals, see demonstrations of new TSCM equipment and
network with distinguished colleagues. The conference schedule includes
presentations about current events, technologies, software and devices relevant to the
TSCM, counterespionage, counterintelligence and security disciplines. We are hopeful
you will find the information presented helpful and useful.
Our distinguished keynote and guest speakers will also share valuable expertise and
insight with attendees. We warmly welcome our keynote speaker Robert Hunter, and
our special guest speakers Ira Winkler and Araceli Gomes. We look forward to their
presentations!
This year, we welcome several sponsors and exhibitors to the conference. Research
Electronics International (REI) is our Corporate Sponsor and has sponsored dinner on
Friday evening. Thank you REI! We look forward to exhibitor presentations by REI,
FLIR Systems, CRFS, Inc., Berkeley Varitronics Systems and Professional
Development TSCM Group (PDTG). We urge all attendees to visit exhibitor tables
following breakfast, during breaks, after lunch or following the conclusion of
presentations by scheduled speakers each day. Exhibitor support makes our
conference possible, and their excellence in product, technology and software helps to
equip us for success.
Once again, welcome. Enjoy ERII’s 2015 conference!
