I certainly respect that. What other orgs or path to a forensic cybersecurity expert speaker would you suggest? Thank you. Charles.

I had the privilege of taking a SANS course about 20 years ago. 300 people @ $3500 each, 4.5 days @ 8 hrs and one instructor (and I never witnessed any support staff). These instructors are some of the most knowledgeable people in the world, in high demand by well-funded organizations and governments, and as with any expert, they have to always research and explore new areas of interest. Not only are they incredibly busy, but I would expect that they are high-value targets for spear fishing themselves, so the SANS organization isn't going to just put anyone in contact with them.
