[44CON] The 44CON BBS: Our Permanent Community
We've been looking into how we can build a sustainable online community with 44CON, and decided that the best way to do it was to build an old-school 90s style BBS with modern technology. You can get a sneak preview of our Juicy Gossip Communications Headquarters (Juicy HQ for short) on our
blog .
The BBS goes live on the 12th of September and is open to everyone with a web browser, everywhere, whether you attend 44CON or not. Any similarity between the name and any H.M. Government departments is purely unintentional. After all, one is a source of SIGINT specialists capitalising on rumours and intercepted transmissions on a legally and morally questionable basis, while the other is a government department.
Open Evening
Not everyone can attend 44CON in full, so we run an open evening every year that's free to attend. Our registration is now up, and we'll tell you all about it in our next email. If you can't wait that long, some details are up on our schedule . This is a great way to bring colleagues and friends to try out 44CON without having to pay for a full ticket, so please point people at the registration page and we'll see you there!
Odds and Ends
There's massive demand for our training, so we're going to close sales soon. Quite a few of our courses are almost full. If you want to attend a training course, it's time to book now. Event tickets will remain on sale until the event, and details of our Wednesday night open evening will be in our next mail.
Our Assistance programme is now closed, it turns out that there's a heck of a lot of people who want to come but can't quite make it. Many thanks to Google and Microsoft for funding our first year. Hopefully we'll have more tickets available next year.
Also if you haven't already, it's worth checking out 2017's talks and workshops on our YouTube channel .
