Focus Security Conference – Year 2

Event Management Services

CHALLENGE

The much-celebrated success of the inaugural event set the standard for a professional gathering of security and cybercrime professionals – not just at McAfee, but across the industry.

With McAfee’s leadership position now firmly reinforced, expectations were running high for a repeat performance that would rival and surpass the success of the previous year. The same end-to-end capabilities that had been invented, deployed and so successfully executed for the inaugural event were now the baseline requirement – and the same team stepped up to meet the challenge at The Palazzo in Las Vegas.

Event management services for McAfee provided by Volo Events.

SOLUTION

The team leveraged the same top-to-bottom systematic production and management process created and deployed at the inaugural event to create an even more compelling, more intimate and more interactive experience at The Palazzo.
