London is to host the eighth annual RSA Conference Europe, which will take place at ExCeL from 22-24 October 2007.  This conference will include a closing keynote speech from Frank Abagnale, the world’s foremost authority on fraud and identity theft, and the subject of the 2002 film Catch Me If You Can, starring Leonardo di Caprio. This is the first time London has been chosen as the location for the event.
