I have never been a great fan of IT exhibitions. I can remember those times when I was working in sales and marketing where you would be stuck for hours on end manning a stand at an IT show in the forlorn hope that some significant, undiscovered prospect would see your organisation in a different light.

As such, I was not really looking forward to catching up with former ACS president John Ridge when he invited me to meet up with him at the recent Security 2002 conference in Sydney.
