Hello Friends, Recently we received some questions (again) about the move to Ghent and if that would mean that BruCON would change it’s name. That is certainly not the case. We could have avoided this by moving to Bruges (pretty city, a little far away from the airport) or even Brussegem (don’t ask ;-)). The choice for Ghent was a concious one, based on budget and general feedback from our attendees.  It makes sense that…

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…
