InfoSec professionals, h4x0rs, script kidz, posers, and government spies: "CarolinaCon" is back yet again! Yes, for about the price of your average movie admission with popcorn and a drink, YOU are invited to join us for yet another intimate and informative weekend of technology education.
What is this "CarolinaCon"? CarolinaCon is an annual Technology Conference whose mission/purpose is to; - Enhance local and global awareness of current technology issues and developments, - Provide affordable technology education sessions to the unwashed masses, - Deliver varied/informative/interesting presentations on a wide variety of InfoSec/hacking/technology/science topics, and - Mix in enough entertainment and side contests/challenges to make for a truly fun event When/Where is CarolinaCon? This year's event will be held on the weekend of March 19th-21st, 2010. The event will mostly occur at a Holiday Inn in Raleigh, NC. Raleigh is about 30 minutes from Durham, Chapel Hill, and Research Triangle Park. Who develops/delivers CarolinaCon? CarolinaCon is proudly brought to you by "The CarolinaCon Group". The CarolinaCon Group is a non-profit organization registered in the state of NC, dedicated to educating the local and global communities about technology, information/network/computer security, and information rights. The CarolinaCon Group is also closely associated with various "2600" chapters across NC, SC, TN, VA, LA, DC, and NY. Many of the volunteers who help develop and deliver CarolinaCon come from those chapters. What events will be at CarolinaCon? CarolinaCon is mainly about the talks/presentations/demos. Alongside of those we'll surely have several other technology-related contests/challenges, as we've had in past years. Details on other events will be announced soon. Who will be presenting which topics this year? That's where YOU possibly come in. If you are somewhat knowledgeable in some interesting field of technology, hacking, science, etc., and are interested in speaking/presenting at CarolinaCon, we invite you to submit your proposal (in brief) for our review. If you're interested in presenting please send; - your name or handle, - the topic/presentation name, - estimated time-length of presentation, and - a brief topic abstract ....via e-mail to: speakers <at> carolinacon.org *NOTE: All submissions are due BY January 29, 2010! Please be timely in submission if you're committed to being part of the elite cadre of presenters. We value diversity, so please don't hesitate to propose your ideas no matter how outlandish. Unfortunately as a non-profit dedicated to affordable education (our admission cost is still holding tight at $20), we've made very little profit each of the past years and are still trying to invest in the basic A-V gear needed to put on the event. So we can't afford to pay anyone to speak nor cover any related expenses yet (sorry). However if you do speak at the Con, you will receive; - free Con admission for you and one guest, - a free Con t-shirt, - minimal fame, glory, and possibly notoriety, and - mad props from our staff and attendees I'm excited and I want to present! What do I do know? If you're interested in speaking, send the 411 requested to: speakers <at> carolinacon.org (BY/BEFORE January 29th 2010) And if you're interested in attending, watch this space for more details: www.carolinacon.org ...and don't forget to mark the dates on your calendar!
