Introduction |
15 |
------------ |
16 |
|
17 |
Breakpoint is a new security conference to be held on the 17th and 18th of |
18 |
October, in Melbourne Australia. The event will show case the work of expert |
19 |
security researchers from around the world on a wide range of topics. |
20 |
Breakpoint is organised by the Ruxcon conference team and will offer a |
21 |
specialised and more professional security conference to complement and lead |
22 |
into the larger and more casual Ruxcon weekend conference. Breakpoint will |
23 |
cater towards security researchers and industry professionals alike, with a |
24 |
focus on cutting edge security research. |
25 |
|
26 |
With just one day separating both conferences, Breakpoint presents a great |
27 |
opportunity for our selected speakers to receive a complimentary trip to |
28 |
Australia and experience both the Breakpoint and Ruxcon conferences, not to |
29 |
mention the great weather, awesome parties, and friendly people. |
30 |
|
31 |
Melbourne is Australia's cultural capital, with Victorian-era architecture, |
32 |
extensive shopping, museums, galleries, theatres, and large parks and gardens. |
33 |
It is a city of many subcultures, personalities and styles, and it is these |
34 |
layers that make it so interesting. Melbourne has a vibrant arts and music |
35 |
scene, eccentric cafes, cobbled lane-ways, quirky shops, intimate bars and |
36 |
restaurants, and is known as one of the world's great streetart capitals. |
