Conference Center in Sunnyvale, California If you're a Drupal programmer, user-experience expert, social-network innovator, or web 2.0 entrepreneur, you're invited!

It's billed as an event in which journalism's ideals will meet Silicon Valley's tools in a three-day, conceptual mashup. Groovy.

The SDForum has just announced its line-up of speakers for the Security Conference, which takes place this September 19.
