Three team members from Intrada Technologies recently had the privilege of attending ShmooCon, an esteemed three-day cybersecurity conference in the heart of Washington, D.C. Celebrated as an annual highlight within the cybersecurity and broader tech communities, ShmooCon is renowned not just for its insightful sessions but as a place for innovation and collaboration in tackling the most pressing cybersecurity challenges. Since its creation in 2005, it has consistently provided a vibrant platform for technology exploitation showcases, the unveiling of cutting-edge software and hardware solutions, and essential discussions on pivotal information security matters.
Named after the mythical "Shmoo" group, synonymous with whimsy and community spirit, ShmooCon stands out for its strong emphasis on community-led and community-focused initiatives. This philosophy drives the conference's enduring appeal and growing prestige in the security industry.
Tickets Sold Out Quickly
The frenzied anticipation for tickets each year clearly indicates ShmooCon's popularity and the high regard in which it is held. The first round of tickets for this year's event disappeared in an astonishing 9.45 seconds, with the subsequent rounds vanishing even more quickly, demonstrating an intense demand and a deep-seated enthusiasm amongst tech and security specialists to be part of this unique experience.
About the Conference
This year's conference saw nearly 2,000 professionals from across the cybersecurity and information technology sectors converge; all brought together under the aegis of the Shmoo Group. This non-profit think-tank consists of dedicated global security experts who commit their time and expertise to further information security research and development, thereby contributing to the collective security posture of the digital landscape. Participants enjoyed a rich agenda filled with 'speed talks' on a variety of contemporary cybersecurity topics, alongside engaging contests, puzzles, and ample opportunities for invaluable networking with peers. A testament to the event's dynamic nature is the return of the ShmooFAQ on Saturday night - a hacker quiz game that has quickly become a fan favorite for its interactive and entertaining approach to education.
Among the attendees were Jaxson Engelman, a Senior Cybersecurity Engineer, and Jennifer Daniel, a Web Developer, both of whom were returnees to the conference. Joining them for his first ShmooCon experience was Caleb Hill, a Cybersecurity & Help Desk Technician. Each member of the Intrada team took away unique insights and memories from the event, already expressing eagerness for next year's conference.
