I often mention how much I attend conferences, and often asked what makes a good conference. I’ve been to many over the last five years, and not just Information Security, or even technology conferences, but for the sake of context I’ll use Security conferences as examples. I’ll mention some factors in how I define a good conference then a summary.

Lockpicking
This is a fun subject and while may not have a direct correlation to whatever it is you do, lockpicking can be a great way to decompress on occasion, but I suggest it for anyone with an interest in security as a confidence builder but who am I kidding, its fun*.
*Disclaimer: I will neither advise or condone you doing lock picking to conduct any illegal activity. Use these skills responsibly and obtain permission before picking someone else’s locks.
