This is a non-profit, non-commercial event looking to provide the best conference possible on a very limited budget. This is the 3rd year for THOTCON.

This year we'll be expanding the attendance to 500 and 20 talks. *** WHEN / WHERE *********************** The conference will be held in Chicago, IL USA on 04.27.12. It will be held at a location only to be disclosed to attendees and speakers during the week before the event. It WILL be in the City of Chicago and close to a CTA train stop, accessible by bus, cab, and even a rickshaw (we have them in Chicago). *** FORMAT ***************************** The event will be a single track. There will be ten (10) 50-minute talks and ten (10) 25-minute turbo talks selected. Topics we are interested in: retro computing, forensics, robotics, physical security, 0days, application hacking, wireless, malware development/research, hackerspaces, The Muppets, Penguins, zombies, attack detection, the number 7, online game hacking, consumer device hacking, beer, and bananas [foster]. This year, based upon past attendee feedback, the selection committee will be prioritizing technical talks over non-technical talks. *** SPEAKER PERKS ********************** Speakers will be given free admission to the conference as well as one (1) free attendee badge (to bring a guest). In addition, 50-minute speakers who give their presentation as planned, will be given a THOTCON life-time attendance badge. This means you will be given free entry to every future THOTCON event for life. You will also have access to the THOTCON VIP Lounge. This means you will have access to free stuff (food and drinks).
