Traveling to a city near you

April 19th, 2008 by admin Posted in Conferences, Europe, PCI DSS

Polish flagOnly if that city is in Poland.  I’m about to hop on a flight to Warsaw, Poland (check my Dopplr) to teach several classes on PCI.  We normally do about 5-10 global countries a year in addition to the numerous PCI classes we teach in the US.  I’m both excited and exhausted.

I’ve been traveling for many weeks straight and the past two weeks have been back to back conferences (RSA and ETA).  I’m about to embark on a 1.5 week trip and I hope I have everything I need.  While there I plan to make a side trip to Krakow for a day.  I have a friend with relatives there that might be able to give me a tour.

Last week at ETA, the PCI SSC released clarification documents about requirements 6.6 and 11.3.  Keep checking the PCI SSC website for the electronic copies.  I’m excited to see what new things and experiences those implementing PCI in Europe and EMEA have been experiencing.  There will be participants from Western and Eastern Europe, and I’m hoping to share the experiences that other PCI assessors are having all over the world.

One of the great advantage of teaching classes all over is the ability to learn and share information.  Also, since ETA was just last week I’ll be able to share more information about programs and information the PCI SSC has recently released.  I’m very impressed with all the people working so hard to churn out documentation.  I think there is more documentation, FAQs, and clarification papers about PCI than any other standard.

While I’m traveling I’m going to share information about the blog, forum, and the Society of Payment Security Professionals (SPSP), our Podcasts, and much more.

We are always looking to expand the list of people who are blogging so if you have an interest in contributing to PCI Answers, please email me.  We are always looking for subject matter experts (SME) and those wishing to blog in non-English languages.  If you already have a blog and want to get it syndicated then join the SPSP and add it to the payment security blog aggregation feed.

    Isn’t travel fun?

    I’ll see you in Sydney in June, and then I will be traveling to your home city (or near-abouts - Foster City to be exact) for a lab meeting the next day. I’ll have to get some info on things to do in SF.

    @Przemyslaw, I’m going to be in Warsaw for a week. I’ll email you and we can try to connect.

    @Andrew, I will most certainly see you in Sydney. Hopefully I’ll be home in SF when you’re there so I can show you a few local pubs.
