From Spender's recent Keynote <https://grsecurity.net/SSTIC2016.pdf>:

As someone who helps run INFILTRATE <http://infiltratecon.com/> I want to
point out that while I totally agree that conferences can be hard to use as
knowledge transfer mechanisms, that they are getting better. In particular
I want to point people towards this very long piece on how everything
connects together, especially those of you who attended INFILTRATE:

http://cybersecpolitics.blogspot.com/2016/05/the-common-thread-fuzzing-bug-triage.html

This is also true of training: I'd love to find a way to offer a continued
education series based on the INFILTRATE classes. And I have another post
coming out to connect more dots from INFILTRATE 2016 shortly. But Spender
is right: Conferences, a mainstay of our community, can be too much about
show and tell, and not enough about scientific progress. (That said, I
think INFILTRATE is the best among them in that regards, of course. :))

And we ARE offering the INFILTRATE training again both in NYC and
(strangely enough!) Columbia MD
