We've just closed the CFP and published our final conference lineup! We've also posted more information about our Seminars and Workshops for those interested in attending. Our Application Security workshop is perfect for those who want a well rounded course on auditing and pen-testing software applications and is the same course which was offered at Blackhat but at a fraction of the cost. We're also offering the Software Defined Radio workshop that will teach you how to get started with the GNURadio USRP and will cover some of the more advanced uses of the USRP for breaking complex RF protocols like Bluetooth and GSM. Seats are going quickly so register today! Finalized Conference Lineup >>

Saturday Night Party Info |
|
|
|
Tuesday, 23 September 2008 |
|
This year's Saturday Night party will be held at Sin Nite Club in Downtown San Diego on the 27th. Doors open at 8PM and last call is usually at 1:45AM. There is a dress code so please wear nice jeans or slacks with a nice shirt and shoes for the gents. Tshirts probably won't fly guys. Ladies, all 3 of you probably know what to wear we hope, we really have no clue to help you anyway. We know this may be an inconvience for people, suck it up, have some fun and meet the opposite sex. To help with this socialization project, Microsoft was very nice to help sponsor the event. During registration, you will get a card that will let you into the club for free. The card will also provide you with an initial drink ticket that can be redeemed at the bar for a free well drink or domestic beer. Sponsor reps will also have tickets at their VIP booths, so please go and make some new friends. Entertainment will be provide by Keith Myers, Dual Core and DJ Scooter. If you and a couple of your friends like to drink and believe in collective bargining, we suggest getting a V.I.P. table. Tables start at $275 and come with a bottle of booze, 750ml or about 25 shots, and mixers. The club is offering a free bottle of champane for the first 5 bookings. If you are interested in a table please email nfiltr8 . "But last year I didn't get a drink!" Come early to make sure you get your drinks and figure how to social yourself some more free drinks like the other guys who drank your booze last year. |
