Want to speak at DefCon 101?

Re: Want to speak at DefCon 101?

As a forum leader/organizer for this forum, I think you have controls to prune posts from a thread like this, so you can remove the pot you replied to, your post, and my post, and push them all to a new thread.

Yes, but I opted to close it as there was no reason to have it left open. Our speakers are all confirmed now. Thanks though.

As for his posting... I have no issues with promoting any contest or event at DefCon 101. That's the purpose. But going down the path of actually trying to get members for individual teams and such is not something I want to do as it will create more issues than it would solve.

No, but you can totally post in the Tamper Evident Contest thread or perhaps in the community talk thread... Had you PM'd me, I probably would have said yes... But this is spam, as far as I'm concerned.

So my team for DT's Tamper Evident Contest has a free spot. We were hoping to get someone new to DC to fill the spot, once we got there. Is there a way to get a small plug for our team at DC101 to find anyone interested?

Re: Want to speak at DefCon 101?

Is there a genre or specific topic that you are lacking and need to be covered for 101?

Yes & No and Yes.

Yes, there are topics that would give people a greater shot at being selected.

No, I'm not going to list them.

Yes, I'm being intentionally vague as it's up to the specific person to email me about and convince me why they should speak on subject matter X. Why that subject matter is important and more so, that they are the right person to speak about it.

For those curious about my email address. If you're really serious about speaking at 101, and you've done your research, finding my email address should be really really easy.

I can probably accept one (1) more speaker at DefCon 101. So if you think that person should be you.. Email me*, and convince me.

*being able to follow directions will go a long way in being able to convince me.
If you send me a PM, instead of an email (like I asked for) it automatically disqualifies you.
Follow directions
