I/ITSEC Registration Services for 2024

We strive to minimize the time spent in line so you can move on to the conference events or the exhibit floor. Our goal is to make your I/ITSEC experience a pleasant one even before you enter the Orange County Convention Center (OCCC). Avoid that line and move on to what you came to  I/ITSEC to do!

Traditional Registration Stations. Located in South Lobby/220DEF of the South Concourse Registration area, traditional walk-up registration will be available for Full Service Registration, on-site payments, changes/edits to name badges, multiple badge pick-ups, or just because you prefer dealing one-to-one with a real person.

Alternate Registration Stations within the Orange County Convention Center. Limited stations at the Main Registration Station will be open Friday and Saturday to handle early registration, especially exhibitors. There will be signage noting QR codes for those who need to register on-site using personal cell phones or laptops. Attendees are encouraged to pre-register and utilize the Self Badging stations once on-site. Self-badging printing stations are only available for those who pre-registered and received a confirmation QR code. To complete your registration at this station, you must be paid in full with no outstanding balance or questions remaining about your registration. Speakers (including Paper Presenters) will have special registration stations. More details will be provided to speakers/presenters, but be sure to watch for signage pointing to these areas.

Registration outside of the Orange County Convention Center. I/ITSEC full-service satellite registration will be located at the Main Lobby of the Hyatt Regency, adjacent to hotel check in, from Sunday noon through Tuesday. These stations will be staffed to assist you whether you need to start your registration from scratch or just need to pick up your nametags.

Mobile App

Be sure to download the I/ITSEC mobile app before you arrive onsite! On the app you will be able to: access exhibitor information and floor plan, save your favorite exhibitors to an expo plan, search for sessions that interest you, and save your favorite sessions to your personal itinerary.

Available on your phone’s app store, search I/ITSEC 2024:

Security Before the Conference

Technology collection directives contain mandates requiring exhibitors and presenters to receive a counterintelligence (CI) briefing from their CI support staff prior to I/ITSEC. Contractors with classified contracts may contact their Defense Security Service Special Agents. To avoid security breaches, I/ITSEC presenters and exhibitors should ensure that the required briefing has been received. A list of CI support agencies follows. Please contact your security officer/manager and ensure that an appropriate briefing for yourself and your colleagues is arranged. Providers of the briefings are:

  • ARMY: 902 Military Intelligence
  • NAVY, USMC, COAST GUARD: Naval Criminal Investigative Service
  • AIR FORCE: Air Force Office of Special Investigation
  • CONTRACTORS: Defense Counterintelligence and Security Agency (formerly Defense Security Service)

Personal Security

The most important thing to protect, of course, is yourself. Pay attention to your surroundings. Report suspicious behavior or security breaches to a security person or NTSA staff. Familiarize yourself with emergency procedures and exits at your hotel and the Convention Center. Please note that security surveillance cameras are in place throughout the conference and exhibit areas.

Emergency Medical Services

EMT and/or paramedics will be on-site during I/ITSEC (including hall build-up and teardown). During I/ITSEC 2024, they will be located opposite the Destination Lounge, near the escalators in Med Room 4. Dial 911 for life threatening emergencies. For non-emergencies within the center, dial 5-9809 or on your cell dial (407) 685-7041, or alert any security or I/ITSEC staff member with a radio.

Bags & Briefcases

Bags and briefcases may be carried in by those wearing Conference Attendee or Exhibitor badges. Exhibit Visitors (those who are only visiting the exhibits) WILL NOT be allowed to carry in bags or briefcases. A check room will be available in the main registration area. A small purse or fanny pack is allowed, but is subject to search. Additional security restrictions may be posted on this page and on signage at the conference. Conference Management reserves the right to adjust security levels as deemed necessary during the conference.

Presentations

Recording devices will not be permitted in the presentation rooms, unless authorized by the conference management. Presenters and Exhibitors should review their company’s policy documents and those of the government agencies with whom you contract regarding open distribution, limited distribution, restricted distribution, and sharing limitations.

Cameras

Exhibitors have the right to limit photographs and videos of their displays. Please respect this right by asking before photographing or videotaping. Participants found taking photos or videos without the consent of the presenters or exhibitors will be dealt with according to security procedures, to possibly include confiscation of materials and removal from the premises.
