Oh boy, have the past few weeks been a rollercoaster ride.  Putting up a registration engine for a conference is one thing, putting up one that you know will be scrutinized by the very public it is intended for is a completely different ballgame 🙂 I can tell you that Seba, Xavier and a few other people on the crew have pulled their weight and made it happen.  A special shout out should go out…

Hello BruCONneers, a few weeks ago in preparation for our training schedule for September, we launched a short questionnaire so we could better understand you as an attendee. Just to make sure that we find the best trainings in the areas that you value most. From the submitters, three people were randomly selected and receive a free BruCON 2012 conference ticket. These people are : Tim Dams from Belgium Tahir S from Australia VB from…

I am proud and excited to officially announce our two keynote speakers for BruCON 2012.  Truth be told we’ve had some quite exciting names join us in the past 3 years and that doesn’t make it any easier to find persons of the same calibre to jiggle our brains. We aren’t necessarily looking for big names but rather for people who know what they are talking about and people that we trust in engaging and…

Lately, there’s been a quite some chatter on the twitterverse about an apparent conflict in dates between BruCON and Derbycon. BruCON training is held on the 24th and 25th of September, the conference itself is held on the 26th and 27th.  Derbycon has training on the 27th and the conference itself is from the 28th to the 30th of September. We’re on two different continents but we would agree that two kick-ass conferences so close…

Hey BruCON people, here’s a short blogpost to launch a survey requesting your feedback on training opportunities at BrUCON. This year we want to be even more aware of your education needs so we can try whatever we can to attract knowledgeable speakers with the ability to share her knowlege with you as a student. Please take a few minutes to provide your feedback here : https://www.surveymonkey.com/s/brucon2012 One person who has completed the review will…

3,2,1 … BruCON 2012 is a go!  In the past few months, after a few weeks of rest, we’ve looked back, learned some lessons and listened to your feedback. One of the most gratifying things about organizing a conference is that the attendees tell us that they had a good time, learned a lot, made friends and overall enjoyed our event. We want to take this opportunity to thank everyone that supported BruCON since it’s…

Hello BruCON people! Before we kick start living towards a new installment of Brucon 2012 we have an apology to make. All volunteers contributing to the conference are doing their utmost to make everything work and from the feedback we received we haven’t fumbled in 99% of what makes the event one of your favorite conferences in Europe. However, this year, we feel we have let you down on one specific point : the recordings…

I’m hoping everybody has recovered from BruCON 0x03, had some time to spent with friends and families and maybe took some of the things you picked up at BruCON and gave them a twhirl for some work-related or other project. While we are already looking at BruCON 0x04, we have one little request for you. We do not have an official BruCON photographer and we figured the best viewpoint to capture how BruCON was, would…

and the experience awesome … There’s a lot of work to be done at a conference like BruCON : setup, running the workshops, catering duty, bar duty, security, break up, … A big challenge this year for instance is that we can only enter the conference venue at 7am on Monday. You can imagine that it will be hectic to get everything ready and it will be kinda a all-hands-on-deck moment 🙂 If you’re coming…
