Wild West Hackin' Fest - Deadwood: I so love this conference. It's so much like DerbyCon. There aren't any "I hacked a car/plane/drone/coffee maker" talks. There aren't 10,000 people there and it won't make the national news like BlackHat or Defcon, but what it will do is give you the information you can use in your day-to-day job. Things to actually make your network safer. Flash and glitter are great and lots of fun. Huge parties and massages courtesy of IoActive at the Oasis are cool too if that's what you like. Less interesting but much more relevant is information you can apply to your job, day one after the con, and make your network just a little more secure.
