ChicagoCon -- New Security Event in the Windy City

ChicagoCon, an exciting new security event, is coming to Chicago from September 17 to 23 and promises to be a unique combination of a conference, training and hacker fest, all in one.

There's a bannker with a link on the right-hand side of this blog.

I met the organizer, Don Donzal, at Black Hat last week in Vegas. Here's a blurb from his press release:
