I hope you are enjoying sunny balmy days of summer. SIP is also taking some siesta and getting ready for our 10 year celebrations, starting September 2006.

We have decided to morph the Identity Theft & Internet Scams one-day Summit into seven evening dinner forums covering some of the same topics plus more current topics.See below.

We were also busy in the spring at various trade shows. Take a peek at the picture galleries:
