TOORCON 2002 PRE-REGISTRATION CLOSING SOON

We would like to invite everyone to ToorCon 2002 this year which is on the
27-29th of September. We have just recently released our finalized speaker
lineup and it looks like it'll be one of ToorCon's best years yet.
Pre-registration and RSVP will be closing shortly, so register today!


TOORCON COMPUTER SECURITY CONFERENCE 2002
ToorCon is a comprehensive three day computer security extraveganza
featuring lectures from some of the top experts in the field, hands-on
demonstrations of the newest approaches to computer security, and a
competitive game called RootWars which tests your penetration and defensive
skills in a real-time simulation. It will be held on September 27-29th in
Downtown San Diego and starts off with a reception the The Bristol Hotel on
1055 First Ave., San Diego, CA 92101 (right across the street from the
Concourse). The Conference will take place on Saturday, September 28th and
Sunday, September 29th in the Grand Ballroom at the Westin Horton Plaza San
Diego on 910 Broadway Circle, San Diego, CA 92101.


VENUE CHANGE
The venue of the talks has changed from the San Diego Concourse to the
Westin Horton Plaza Hotel. Due to the increased number of attendees, the
Westin will be able to facilitate growth a lot better. It also has a better
atmosphere and is closer to San Diego Attractions. The reception will still
be at the Bristol's Starlight Ballroom like last year. Currently all rooms
at the Bristol are sold out, most of the surrounding hotel have vacancies.

PRICING
Pricing goes as follow: $50 for pre-registrations, $60 for RSVP, $75 at the
door. With RSVP your telling us you will be attending but you want to pay at
the door. This really helps us with the planning. The reason for an increase
in price is we want to make enough money to roll over for the next year.
Last year we barely broke even and the year before we were $1000 under. Our
focus is having the BEST talks you can find at real people prices - with out
having to file for bankruptcy :).
