FEEDBACK: Due to comments received, make sure you watch the whole video before you get upset about what Neal is saying. He recommends that you go to these conferences - but only with the right game plan.

There's really no point you going to either DEFCON or Black Hat unless you do it right. Neal Bridges (Ex-NSA Hacker) tells us the mistakes that people make and how to make the most of the conferences.
