What would you like to see for year five?

[bluknight]

As if it isn't obvious by now, Skytalks will be returning for a fifth banner year. We mixed it up a little this year and tried to include some side items that don't always see as much coverage in the mainstream talks, such as HIPAA and biohacking. But what would you like to see from next year? (other than the talk schedule actually printed -- we promise, it'll happen this year!)

So what's the scoop on Skytalks? Just additional speakers in a separate area? Website says

designed to overclock your brain

Are these talks technologically more sophisticated than the others? Is it in an exclusive area / additional fees to access?Never quite understood. Thanks!

Actually, more of an attempt to recreate the "more intimate" feel of Defcons of long ago. Some of the talks are deep dives, and some aren't. And while we tried a "RSVP" structure the first year, it didn't quite work out as planned, so we basically opened it up. No additional fees or anything else... Although if you bring recording devices, we will confiscate them, hock them, and add the proceeds to the enforcer's beer fund.

And if you're really bad, we'll sic Banasidhe on you.
