A few quick notes:
Thanks to all who handed in feedback forms this year. Your comments are incredibly important to us. If you forgot to hand them in, or have more to say, please email us at feedback at shmoocon dot org.
Videos and slides will be up soon. Now that the ShmooCon staff is starting to wake up, we'll get working on this post haste. It will take some time - but our goal is to be done with it by sometime next week.
Need help remembering the rest of your weekend? Photo sets are rapidly appearing on Flickr. Have fun with that.
A huge thank you to our Speakers, Sponsors, and Staff. You rock.
And finally - thanks go out to you, the attendee.
w00t indeed.

Lost barcodes:
If you have your transaction id you can regenerate your barcode. Otherwise, bringing id will be fine.
Metro Delays:
If you plan on getting to the conference by Metro this weekend, we strongly recommend you check their website for any service alerts before you travel. We are specifically concerned about this one detailing delays on the red, orange and blue lines for the weekend.
See you in a few days!
Different.
ShmooCon is an annual East coast hacker convention hell-bent on offering three days of an interesting atmosphere for demonstrating technology exploitation, inventive software & hardware solutions, and open discussions of critical infosec issues. The first day is a single track of speed talks, One Track Mind. The next two days, there are three tracks: Break It!, Build It!, and Bring It On!.
Affordable.
ShmooCon is about high-quality without the high price. Take advantage of scaled pre-registration discounts, and ShmooCon can be dirt cheap. Space is limited! ShmooCon has sold out for the last two years, so unless taking a chance on an eBay auction to get your ticket sounds like fun, register early!
Accessible.
Well, except for our West coast friends, sorry guys. ShmooCon is in Washington, D.C., at the Marriott Wardman Park Hotel, just a few steps from the D.C. Metro. Fly into DCA, IAD, or BWI, or take a train to Union Station, and you are just a quick cab ride away from the con.
Entertaining.
Brain melting from all the cool tech you are learning? Check out some of the contests running at ShmooCon, including the Hacker Arcade and Hack/Or/Halo. In years past, we have also thrown massive parties at a local area hot-spot, so expect that to happen again too!
If our entertainment isn't enough, the 100+ .gov or Beltway Bandit wireless networks within 5 miles could make for some ... fun.
(hack at your own risk... :P )
