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…

There was a time when I thought the last few months leading up to a conference were hectic. Back then I didn’t know how it would be one week before the conference. I believe there’s one thing that keeps us going and that’s the enthusiasm we feel from our volunteers, our attendees (many are flying in from all over the globe) and our volunteers. We’re so much looking forward to kick Brucon 0x03 off! One…

For many of our attendees, this may be the first time they’re visiting Brussels. Finding your way around may not be the easiest thing to do …. Some will just go at it, some like to plan everything before leaving. The latter group will be relieved when they see the effort @5M7X has gone through to create an awesome map where all the important Brucon events are indicated on! Here’s the link! Enjoy, See you…

Since it’s inception Brucon had two main goals. The first one to foster an environment where both the technology-oriented information security audience and the business-oriented information security audience could find knowledge, share experience, learn and be inspired. This became our two-day conference. The second goal was to create an event where our audience could learn the stuff they need to excel in their job, the skills they require to be ahead of the curve. This…

Hola (that’s Spanish for hello), You should already be aware that we are having this year’s Brucon at the Campus of the ‘Vrije Universiteit Brussel’ (let it be known as VUB from here on forward). For people that decide to come to the venue by car, our hosts have been so kind to create an entrance barcode that you should not forget to print and bring with you as it will open the gates at…

To make sure everything around the workshops runs smoothly, we are opening registrations. You can add your name to the workshop registration page. Please observe the following rules : enter your name only once. Only register for yourself. Only register if you are sure you will attend. Registrations will close 24hr before the conference. If you were unable to register, please check the location of the workshop a few minutes before the start. It may…

Public Service Announcement : On Sunday September 18th, there will be a car-free sunday in Brussels. This means that people travelling to Brussels by car that day will not be able to enter the city with their vehicle before 7pm. Travel from the airport to the city center by taxi will be possible, but taxis will need to adher to a speed limit of 30km/h in the city (which may drive up your travel cost)….

Dear all, Getting a ticket to Brucon is step one …. maybe even more important for our attendees is planning their days so they can see the talks they want to see, attend the workshops they want to attend and still have time for a beer, playing The Hex Factor or a chat with old and new friends. Without further ado, here is the Brucon schedule : http://2011.brucon.org/index.php/Schedule. Please be aware that this schedule is…

I can’t believe it’s less than a month until Brucon! It gets me excited to finally be able to see everything come together. Everything that numerous volunteers have spent hours on preparing. On Brucon days, as an organizer, you get satisfaction from very little things. Seeing the catering be run without a hitch, seeing people playing The Hex Factor, watching awesome discussions after the talks, seeing people learn in workshops. Those are the moments where…
