Boy, this would be a cool little deal to sit in on, if you could afford it. There will be a ton of guest speakers that would be extremely interesting to hear from, or even talk to if you get a chance. A lot of the big name security companies will have representatives there, as well as some of the top notch military thinkers (like John Nagl). As you can see, Africa is an important topic for the industry and it will be interesting to hear some of the reportage coming out of this summit. –Head Jundi
