The SANS Store:

Make time at the conference to stop by the SANS Store! This is where you pick up your books for class when you register, and where you find other great items for sale throughout the week. The SANS Store will sell leftover course books at great discounts plus a wide variety of other items. Several of our instructors are authors who have books for sale in the SANS Store and would be more than happy to autograph your copy. Sweatshirts, t-shirts, TCP/IP header t-shirts, polo shirts and hats are some of the great clothing items you'll discover. Step-by-Step Guides will be sold at a price that cannot be matched anywhere else! High quality wireless cards and antennas will be available at a competitive price.

Sale prices on conference merchandise are valid only while supplies last. Items that you purchase at the conference must be picked up onsite.

Be sure to check our SANS Store online catalog before you come for merchandise that will make the conference a special SANS experience. Wear a TCP/IP header shirt and see how many people ask you why it is upside down! Bring a SANS umbrella to keep you dry on rainy days. And for students that sign up for GIAC certification, the SANS Store is where you can purchase practice tests to help you succeed in becoming GIAC certified. Go to SANS Store >>
