You're Invited to an Informational In-Person Meeting (see below for registration)

 A great chance to network with your peers and share!

Topic: The Art of Proper SIEM and Motorcycle Ownership
Presenter: Johnny Xmas
Location: RSM US LLP, 30 S Wacker, Suite 3300, Chicago, IL 60606

When: Wednesday, Nov 5, 2025 - 5:00 to 7:30 PM

5 PM Registration and Networking

5:30 Presentation, followed by refreshments, light snacks and networking.  

Join us for a fun presentation comparing Johnny’s lessons learned from motorcycle ownership and how they directly relate to SIEM ownership. The goal hopefully is to finally convey information in a way that SIEM owners will finally understand and implement.

Join Johnny, an infamous local SIEM and motorcycle destroyer, as he walks you through the dos and don’ts of SIEM and motorcycle ownership.

A Word of Caution

This talk will contain zero information that you have not heard many, many times before. For some reason, however, Johnny sees all of it being violated in the most egregious ways at company after company after company. 

This has led him to believe that the industry has either:

• Never received all the information all at once, or
• Not been given the information in a manner that didn’t immediately induce a deep and lengthy coma (probably the latter).

The Thousand-Foot View

As such, Johnny will be attempting to convey the thousand-foot view of how to (or not to) choose, stand up, and manage a SIEM by wrapping it in thinly veiled metaphors derived from his hobby: propelling himself over (and sometimes at) asphalt at extremely high velocities.

Get ready for an enlightening journey through the world of SIEMs and motorcycles!
