not an easy decision...all I can think of is my DI's favorite phrase in boot camp "Don't be the one!"
The last thing a new event needed was to have something terrible traced back to them...can you imagine the new story
Security Con fails to assess risk, news at 10
There are some conferences coming up that have to make a choice about canceling or going virtual. I wanted to share some points about @WWHackinFest
1st, we lost about $100K on canceling.
Call for Participation is now open...got an idea for a talk, wanna run a workshop, maybe a contest???

Hello all,
Because of COVID-19/Corona @WWHackinFest San Diego will be going all virtual this year. We will not be doing the ground-based event. We will be sending an email shortly. All the talks, training and MetaCTF will be virtual.
If you can't wait for us in October we highly suggest you visit our neighbors to the south. They put on a great event last year and still have some tickets for sale. However, we suggest that you do not make any late night court house runs.
Ticket Sales are LIVE! Remember only a limited number of tickets with Electronic badge.

*Blares into the Horn Resounding*
Announcing 2020 Keynote @strandjs
If you recall John was here around 5000ish reported breaches ago, sure seems like it was just yesterday. Anyone taking bets on the number of breaches between this announcement and Johns talk in October?
Need an idea for a gift tonight for that someone special?
No problem fam...#bsidesmsp2020 ticket sales are live. We can't think of a better way to honor a martyred saint.

Starting to fire up the machine...Oh and save the dates
Oct 8th & 9th 2020.
We're going to try something a little different this year. Venue is booked a little outside of the downtown's (i know, i know), but it will have pretty views. More announcements soon.
Unfortunately Lee will be unable to join us for the @WWHackinFest (finals or midterms that week, we'll figure out a different prize) so congrats to Todd, our runner up who confirmed "hell yeah I'm going"
Some of you have asked about slides, they are starting to come in from speakers and should be posted soon.
283 in attendance over both days not counting volunteers, speakers, sponsors
27% overall no show rate (sorry 180 on the wait list, next year will be better)
59% student no show rate (hey kids, the networking was free)
$1120 raised for charity so far (we still got hats to sell)
CPE'S
In the past most places have been fine with a copy of your ticket or a pic of your badge. We'll put together some kind of certificate if you run into any issues. just let us know.
Thanks
Wait List wait no more...day two is always traditionally slower, so come on down the floodgates are open. Just swing by reg to get your badge.
Do you like puzzles? Plenty of room and time left to compete in our Crypto challenge for prizes. NO TICKET REQUIRED for day two.
Day 2 (tomorrow) NO TICKET REQUIRED TO COME HACK AT THE MAIN CTF. Also the Dumpster fire WCTF will be running still as well...Pop shells for prizes and glory!
Rounding out our 11th hour adds to the sponsorship roster. Big thank you to @cylanceinc for joining us.
Special thanks to @gigamon for sponsoring us this year. coming in at the 11th hour...be sure to stop by and say hi.
