Dear Mr. Ahmad Raza,

We are pleased to inform you of the Information Security Conference 2012, at Lahore Expo Center on January 9, 2012 which has been organized by 4th Dimension Pvt. Ltd (http://ictglobal.net.pk). This is a first-of-its kind InfoSec conference in the country in which the latest and cutting-edge Information Security topics will be covered (please view attached program and details).

Since NUST MCS IS Dept is the premier InfoSec institution and center of excellence in Pakistan, we are delighted to invite NUST to be part of this event as a supporting organization/institution, and we would also like to invite your distinguished Information Security faculty and students to be part of this event.

The attached program is still tentative and we would also like to invite one or two speakers from NUST to deliver a presentation or participate in the panel discussion. The program can be adjusted to accommodate NUST participation and we will be very happy to get NUST MCS IS Dept. fully on board for this event.

I have also copied two of your former NUST Information Security students (Mubashir Ismail - MSIS 2, and Sheraz Naseer - MSIS 5) who are part of the organizing committee team for the conference.

Once again, it is a great pleasure to be in contact with you and we are looking forward to full participation of NUST MCS IS Dept. at the conference.

Kind regards,

Cell: 03344002211
