Blackhat 2016?

Will any of you members here be attending BlackHat 2016?

I really would like to go, but I also need to pay for my Masters. I wonder if paying for the masters would be worth it or if attending the Blackhat 2016 would be worth it. Hmm...choices...

I booked my trip back in January since I don't want to deal with the hassle of finding nearby lodging in the last few weeks before the event. Being at Mandalay Bay (or Delano in my case) is ideal since I can just walk downstairs and be at the conference. No early morning driving necessary. I'm only doing the Briefings and not Trainings.

I've done the whole suite of BH Trainings/Briefings/DEF CON thing twice ... it ends up being a rather lengthy stay in Vegas. I only do Briefings and DEF CON now.

I havent been since 98. So this should be a fun experience.
Luckily I get to do the BH training and briefings, as well as Defcon.

I'm in the Pluralsight Happy Hour (4-6PM) and the Cisco Black Hat Party (8-11PM) on Wed the 3rd at Mandalay Bay.

Of course, those are nothing like the DEFCON parties you can find on the Android Hacker Tracker phone app.
