ChiSec 18 is NEXT WEDNESDAY, with a NEW LOCATION.

Thomas Ptacek | June 20th, 2008 | Filed Under: Uncategorized

ChiSec 18 is Wednesday. This post is a shameless rehash. All the light and heat behind ChiSec has moved, from our blog to CITYSEC.ORG, which is where all the cool kids hang out now.

The details on the web page are up to date, and you can forward that URL to your friends and neighbors. There’s a mailing list; instructions are on the web page. If you join it, you won’t find out about the next ChiSec any faster than our readers, but you will get a say in when and where they’re held.

Some things to know about Chisec:

  • No vendors.

  • No 45-minute talks.

  • No RSVPs.

  • No membership.

  • No free drinks.

I expect between 20-30 people. You will find:

  • Operations people dealing with network security in the trenches

  • Security product developers

  • Vulnerability researchers

  • Consultants and pen-testers

  • Management and policy guys

Some of them even have CISSPs, and yet I don’t throw little temper tantrums about it. That’s how cool these meetings are. And all you have to do to participate is show up.

    The sockpuppet.com/chisec site appears to not be working.

    Also, what time do these start at?

    I’m in Milwaukee, but might be able to get a couple people to head down to one of these if we have enough prior notice.

    Nice catch, sir. I had the wrong link in the page.

    The new location is Hop Haus, near 600 N. Franklin.
