Hacker Cons?

in Off-Topic
I was hoping you guys would join me in making a list for members here of this years major hacker/security cons. I'm looking at actual cons, not like the one I went to last year where it was just vendors selling projects. So I think we should make a list of US cons with location and date.

Anyone want to contribute?

    Not sure if you would call it major but it is what it is. No, it's not only vendors selling things...

    The three most established CONS that I know of: DefCon, BlackHat and Hope

    New and upcoming CON would be like DerbyCon
