How to Market the Morally Broken and Sociologically Depraved: A Guide to Selling Your Local Hacker Conference to the Public

Presented at Notacon 9 (2012), April 14, 2012, 10 a.m. (60 minutes)

So you decided to start up a hacker conference in your town? Awesome! Now how the hell are you going to get money? I'll tell you how! A little bit of BS (well perhaps a touch more than that), a pinch of social engineering, and a whole lot of patience and spamming! Apply my concepts not only to conferences, but your Hacker Space, local ISSA chapter, or maybe even your school's cyber defense team. Who knows? Just get that cash!
