Happy Holidays from Black Hat! Before the silly season enters full swing I'd
like to make a couple announcements:

Black Hat is proud to be holding Trainings and Briefings in Washington D.C.,

access to each presenter. Immediately following each session the presenters
are available for an additional hour to take questions in a break out room.
