TRAINING PROGRAM

Overview | Sunday | Monday | Tuesday | Wednesday | Thursday | Friday | By Instructor | Series

Reminder! Daylight Savings Time ends on Sunday. Don't forget to set your clocks back an hour on Saturday night.

LISA tutorials survey the topic, then dive into the specifics of what to do and how to do it. Instructors are well-known experts in their fields, selected for their ability to teach complex subjects. Attend tutorials at LISA '10 and take valuable skills back to your company or organization. New topics are woven in with old favorites to create the most comprehensive training program to date. Register now to guarantee your first choice—seating is limited.

New this year: All sessions—both tutorials and technical sessions—are now available in half-day increments. Mix and match more than ever before. Note: Full-day tutorials are still available; please be sure to register for both a.m. and p.m. sessions. They are labeled as "PART 1" and "PART 2" in the registration form. If you choose to take the afternoon half of a full-day tutorial only, we ask that you refrain from asking the instructor to review the material that you missed in the first half.

Just Added! SANS Training at LISA
In addition to the LISA training, we're partnering with the SANS Institute to offer a 2-day security class.

More Series of Classes Than Ever Before
LISA is again offering series of classes focusing on some of the most important topics you'll encounter. Follow the icons throughout the full training descriptions and complete the series.

Our Guarantee

If you're not happy, we're not happy. If you feel a tutorial does not meet the high standards you have come to expect from USENIX, let us know by the first break and we will change you to any other available tutorial immediately.

Continuing Education Units (CEUs)

USENIX provides Continuing Education Units for a small additional administrative fee. The CEU is a nationally recognized standard unit of measure for continuing education and training and is used by thousands of organizations.
    Each full-day tutorial qualifies for 0.6 CEUs. You can request CEU credit by completing the CEU section on the registration form. USENIX provides a certificate for each attendee taking a tutorial for CEU credit and maintains transcripts for all CEU students. CEUs are not the same as college credits. Consult your employer or school to determine their applicability.

Training Materials Now on USB Drives

Training materials will be provided to you on a 4GB USB drive. If you'd like to access them during your class, please remember to bring a laptop. If you need printed materials for your class, please select the option to receive them on the registration form.


All sessions taking place in the San Jose Marriott are denoted by the Marriott logo icon throughout the LISA '10 Web site. All other session locations are in the San Jose McEnery Convention Center.
