Past Events

	Event: Security BSides Las Vegas When: 8/3/2011 to 8/4/2011 Over the last 2+ years we have witnessed the rebirth of the security community. The conversations are getting more potent and the "TALK AT YOU" conferences are starting to realize they have to change. YOU are the reason for this new era of Information Sharing and Teamwork. The BSides community has continuously raised the bar and put the INFO back in INFOSEC. We thank each and every member/attendee/organizer of this community for their hard work, sweat, and relentless pursuit of High Quality information. We also have to give a HUGE amount of thanks to a group of generous sponsors that have the foresight to give without strings attached and PROVE to the community that we are all in this together. In concert the members and sponsors have allowed for us all to get together and make moves to change Infosec.... one chat, speech, laugh, and/or drink at a time. Thank you ALL! Mushy stuff aside ..... we present YOUR BSIDESLV 2011

	Event: ShmooCon 2012 FireTalks When: 1/27/2012 to 1/28/2012 For the past two years we’ve had the privilege of hosting the Firetalks at ShmooCon and are excited to formally announce the ShmooCon 2012 FireTalks! If you followed the FireTalks in the past, this year’s will essentially run the same however with one minor difference. Instead of having six 15-minute sessions each night, we will be decreasing that to five. That should give us 15 minutes of time to play with for intros, computer switches, etc. The goal is not to take up too much of your time and last year we found that having six sessions pushed closer to 2 hours rather than 1.5 hours. Similar to last year we will be using the same CFP system and selections will be made based on having a nice mix of established and new speakers. We’ll also continue our tradition of having a three person panel to judge the talks based on various factors with the top talks getting some awesome prizes. For all the latest happenings, check back to this post periodically. It is the home for any and all information relating to the ShmooCon 2012 FireTalks. We will also be putting out short “update” posts with just the new info and a pointer back to this “master” post. You can also subscribe to receive these updates through any of our “feeds” if you wish (@novainfosec on Twitter, our FaceBook Page, or RSS) to keep up with things. And as usual … I’ll be regularly updating my Twitter stream at @grecs with all the information using the #firetalks tag.
