Well, I managed to fight my way through the armies of security types to get my delegate bag. This year the bag has a rather nice portfolio that we can use for notes. Right alongside it is the same little note pad that Trigeo hands out every year and at every conference I show up for. Gone is the massive print out of the conference proceedings from years gone past. That damn thing could have stopped a bullet. I should note that it was not in the bag last year either. On behalf of forests everywhere, thanks Black Hat.
The proceedings are included on CD which is FAR easier to carry on the plane. (and yes, I know that they do that every year)
Here is a picture of the throngs of people lined up to get their badges. After talking to one of the BH ‘goons’ he indicated that they had roughly 10,000 people signed up this year. Check out Jeff Moss and the Benjamins.
And of course no Black Hat conference would be complete without the feeding frenzy for all the swag that folks can get their hands on.
Now, back to the solitude of my hotel room…as I plan out my game plan for tomorrow.
