#HITB2013AMS Finalized Agenda, Sogeti #SSEC2013 and #Flight1337: The HITB Post Conference Party

The finalized #HITB2013AMS conference agenda has been published and a PDF download is also available.

The folks from Thinkst have been hard at work over the past couple of weeks getting ConRater ready for #HITB2013AMS and they’re almost done! ConRater is a conference survey and talk voting system that runs on any modern web browser. It will allow you to ‘follow’ and vote on the talks that you’re interested in plus give you a way to provide fully anonymized feedback to us about the conference and ways in which we can improve. Want an early peek at what it looks like? Check out  http://convey.hitb.org/

Looking for something ‘fun’ to do between conference talks? Apart from the CommSec Village and TOOOL.nl LPV, you can also show off your social engineering hackf00 in the Sogeti Social Engineering Challenge 2013 (#SSEC2013). Run by Sogeti Netherlands, #SSEC2013 will test participants’ social engineering skills against the top 100 Dutch companies – Yup, real world targets. Everyone knows humans are often referred to as the weakest link in infosec and Sogeti aims prove this empirically once again while generating awareneness. Registration for the competition is completely free and the deadline to apply is the 9th of April. For rules, regulations and further details, take a look at http://ssec2013.eventbrite.com

How do you cap off two days of  hardcore hacking? With a massive party of course! Get your glow sticks ready and prepare to board #Flight1337 with your pilot DJ Joernchen of Phenoelit! Taking off from Amsterdam’s Club RAIN at 22:00 on the 11th, limited space-time travel tickets for the party are on sale via Eventbrite till the 4th. You can also pick up tickets on-site at the HITB booth during the conference days (10th / 11th).

Don’t forget that online registration for the conference closes on the 7th of April. That’s T -  14 days and counting! See you soon!
