Today's thoughts on talks at conferences

So, sometimes we don't accept a talk for INFILTRATE <http://www.infiltratecon.org>, but then the person turns out to have done some really interesting work that "wouldn't sell" at a normal conference. I.E. a bit darker, maybe a bit weirder. Also, it turns out that people who do interesting work tend to do them as part of teams - the formula of "one person, one hour, one talk" is a bit outdated, imho. Thomas Lim's keynote last year had some things in it about conferences, and how they need to change. I think that's one of the things that will change. I mean, think of the last project you did that actually made a difference - was it just you? IRC wouldn't exist if that was how the world worked. In any case, I find the Call for Paper's process quite fun. And I think we're getting close to finalizing the speakers - and I do want to remind everyone who's coming (which should be everyone on this list! :>) that we're almost out of the rooms at the group rate. Being actually IN the conference hotel is much better than being elsewhere. I.E. if you get drunk, we can carry you to the room, and you'll be able to get up early and get into the conference's keynotes without trying to find a cab or walking around lost in the Miami sun for a while first. So to sum up: Please reserve your hotel rooms now, and don't make us have to negotiate with the hotel to try to get you the discount after the fact! If you are from far away and you need our admin team to help make reservations, ask questions, reserve baby equipment or anything like that, just let us know. "We aim to please!" as Christian Grey would say. Thanks! -dave -- INFILTRATE - the world's best offensive information security conference. April 2013 in Miami Beach www.infiltratecon.com
