I'm reading some Black Hat books right now 😀
Never been to one of those conventions. What benefits do you see in attending? The networking or more of the keynotes (assuming they have keynotes, speakers, classes etc).

The sessions are typically very good (more professional at BH, more hacky at DC). Good place to both network and learn. I primarily go to network for my job, but if your a security professional I'd recommend at least Black Hat.

I was there with a group from my hometown, just got home about an hour ago. Had a lot of fun as it was my first, some of the others had been to almost all of them.

Mental note to create this thread earlier next year so we can do an AT beer meet. Any chance your going to SchmooCon?

No, too far. But good idea of getting a Defcon thread running sooner.

What's with putting the C in shmoo? I do that too...

I didn't know that was your neck of the woods. I was talking with Bruce yesterday and I think he has me pretty convinced to go as long as it doesnt overlap RSA or Demo.

I think I learned that in shool 🙂

I download the files and videos and I'd just love to go. Seems like it would be a great time.
