Re: OK, of all the security conferences out there....

I went to CanSec West 2 years ago and learnt a lot. It was like a more
intimate version of DefCon. Dragos Riu has enough contacts so that there
were people who understood security there, not just people who write about
security.
It is more oriented to learning about possible vulnerabilities rather than
theories, but it was a great way of learning from masters.

Actually, it is less expensive than Blackhat (I think Darren meant
DefCon).  I have attended Usenix yearly for some time now and have never
been disappointed.  The most recent one was especially good even though
a couple of poor papers made it through the review process.  I may try
CanSec West this year too.  Any comments on that?
