Getting to attend Black Hat and defcon in a professional capacity and attend talks and talk to all the peoples is really great and a privilege .i try not to take it for granted. But honestly, I’m really not a Vegas person. Never have been and my tolerance for parties has really tanked.
I wish we had a security conference fest in the outdoors — like the mountains or the desert. Talks and hacking interspersed with hikes and bikes, climbing, or other outdoor activities. Instead of parties in clubs or bars, tea or coffee tastings. Networking over crafts and puzzles.
I know this wouldn’t be popular, but the folks that would be into it would be pretty into it I think. 🤔

@securingdev if this were to exist and be somewhere like Maine or New Hampshire it would have to be in fall. All the colors and cool enough for the ticks to die off.
The hikes would be something else. New Englanders don’t seem to like switchbacks and only design trails straight up. Good hike and bouldering days.

@0daystolive TIL CCC has a camp version very four years!
These both look very cool.
