TOORCON 2003 CALL FOR PAPERS CLOSING
The Toorcon call for papers will be closing next week on Thursday, August
14th. This year is looking to definitely be one of our best years yet.
Celebrating our 5 year anniversary, we will be offering multiple tracks over
both days and will be covering both our usual 0-day underground topics as
well as corporate issues and bridging the gap between today's information
security concerns and the new technologies being developed.
On a side note, we will be providing hosted bar at our annual Saturday night
party hosted by AlphaFight and free redbull during the conference.
Pre-registration will be closing in a month, so pre-register now and save
$15 off the door price! More details below.
