Facilitating SEC401 at SANS 2015!!
I'm actually still a little in shock. First the fact that I got picked to facilitate what is probably the most popular course at what seems to be their largest event, and then the fact that security management at work approved paying for not only the class, but the hotel stay and training time off too! I'm excited to assist and sit in class with Dr. Eric Cole.
I'd love to hear advice from anyone who has facilitated at SANS events. I know I've read through some threads about it a while back so I'll go back and re-read them to see what I can pick up.

Best advice is to communicate with your instructor and see if he has any special requests. Same thing applies to the SANS coordinators. They all have their style so make sure you communicate with them and ask questions. Also, remember you are not there to support the students. I've come accross many who seem to have the misconception that we are there to help them troubleshoot their PCs, find them Windows licenses, ISOs, etc.
The final thing is to make the most out of your interaction with other students. The contacts you'll make here along with the conversations that take place will be of great value.
