Please join us for Morgan Keegan’s 8th Annual Security, Safety & Defense Conference on August 11, 2009 at the Waldorf=Astoria Hotel in New York City.

As the industry’s longest running and most comprehensive conference, this event has become a premier venue for industry practitioners, institutional investors, venture capitalists and private equity professionals to collaborate on new business initiatives and investment opportunities.

For the first time in the history of the event, the conference format will include presentations from leading participants in the defense industry to highlight Morgan Keegan’s introduction of equity research coverage of the sector. This initiative underscores a long-term commitment to leverage our industry-leading coverage of the security & safety sector and our fundamental belief that the defense community will play a pivotal role in shaping the future direction of the security & safety landscape.
