Interact with the security community
CanSecWest, the world's most advanced conference focusing on applied digital security, is about bringing the industry luminaries together in a relaxed environment which promotes collaboration and social networking. The conference lasts for three days and features a single track of thought provoking presentations, each prepared by an experienced professional and talented educator who is at the cutting edge of his or her field. We give preference to new and innovative material, highlighting important, emergent technologies, techniques, or best industry practices.
The conference is single track, with one hour presentations over the duration beginning at 9:00 a.m. The registration fee includes the catered meals, and there will be a vendor display and lounge/eating area, where wireless internet access will be available (as well as in the speaking theater).

More details about the Microsoft Defend the Flag special two day Dojo:
Brad Hill of iSec Partners will conduct the hands-on Windows defense training module, which includes Windows host and service hardening, basic intrusion detection, forensics, and incident response while under attack. Alex Horan of Core will present the techniques and methodology of attack, leveraging the Core Impact tool.
Students will form teams containing both attackers and defenders. Teams will apply the lessons learned in attack and defense from Day One to the competition on Day Two. Winning will be judged on uptime of systems and services, execution of hardening steps, and proper defense of various "flags" on the systems being protected. The winning team members will take home a prize!! (No, it's not the laptops of the other teams. You're thinking of a different game. ;-)
