So i've been in IT for a few year, and have at least had an interest in security for most of it, but i've never attended a con. I've wanted to for a number of years now and I think I will within the next two years. The question remains, which one?! I don't want to go to a con and be way over my head on the tech talks so i think BH is out of the question. Thoughts and suggestions?

Well, primarily I would just like to attend one, meet people, play war games, ect. Learning during the tracks is also very important.

Even I am interested to go to Con. I have been planning to attend it from last 6 months....

Thanks for your helpful suggestion about Defcon I will definitely try to be there next time..
