NOTaCON (Cleveland, OH)

NOTACON, an annual conference held in Cleveland, Ohio, explores and showcases technologies, philosophy and creativity often overlooked at many “hacker cons”. Our desire is not to supplant other events, but complement them and strike a balance that has gone unnoticed in our community for far too long.

With each new year we build upon the successes and knowledge of the previous years. Our goal is to enlighten, educate, and entertain attendees, presenters, and staff alike. We do this by finding new ways to apply technology to graphics, art, music, or social interaction.

Notacon espouses an ethos of exploration, participation and positive contributions. Hence, while some of the material we may cover is controversial or potentially “black hat” in nature, we feel it is important to openly discuss all topics so that others can learn from the experience and create something good, fun or interesting from it.

SOURCE Conference is the first and only conference that combines advanced technology and application security practices with the business of security in an intimate and manageable environment.

Bigger is not always better! Over the years, the members of the SOURCE team have attended numerous conferences and found the same thing – the conferences were often so big and had so many people that it was difficult to identify key talent, thought leaders, business visionaries, and high level security practitioners. SOURCE avoids these problems by maintaining an intimate and manageable environment to give our attendees access to key players and high value, relevant information.
