From Spender's recent Keynote <https://grsecurity.net/SSTIC2016.pdf>: """ Conferences poor method of knowledge transfer Good method of making audience feel “knowledge” transfer Accept that it’s basically show-and-tell, that understanding of a topic requires more than an hour, sometimes with weeks/months/years of background knowledge """ As someone who helps run INFILTRATE <http://infiltratecon.com/> I want to point out that while I totally agree that conferences can be hard to use as knowledge transfer mechanisms, that they are getting better. In particular I want to point people towards this very long piece on how everything connects together, especially those of you who attended INFILTRATE: http://cybersecpolitics.blogspot.com/2016/05/the-common-thread-fuzzing-bug-triage.html This is also true of training: I'd love to find a way to offer a continued education series based on the INFILTRATE classes. And I have another post coming out to connect more dots from INFILTRATE 2016 shortly. But Spender is right: Conferences, a mainstay of our community, can be too much about show and tell, and not enough about scientific progress. (That said, I think INFILTRATE is the best among them in that regards, of course. :)) And we ARE offering the INFILTRATE training again both in NYC and (strangely enough!)
