Official siteEditorial review
Top-tier offensive security research conference. Briefings track defines the year in vulnerability research; the sponsor floor is a distinct exercise in vendor avoidance.
What works

- +Training courses are accreditable and rank above online alternatives
- +Adjacency to DEF CON makes the week double-value
What doesn't
- −Attendee reports describe relentless badge-scanning and post-event sales pressure
- −Vegas hotel pricing spikes for the week
- −Ticket cost has outpaced training quality growth
