Bsides are awesome.... very different from conferences in general, and if you are a newbie to the conference scene, this is the BEST opportunity to really network and talk to people about security related issues and concerns. Super-friendly environment!
I'm currently working internally in a InfoSec management role, I'm looking to make a change. Anyone with knowledge of Consulting or Internal InfoSec Engineering positions please let me know!
Thought I might throw this out there and hope there might be a bite.
