So our first topic of interest as part of the Black Hat Bloggers Network promotion was virtualization and security in honor of our own Chris Hoff presenting at Black Hat this year. While several members of the network wrote some really great stuff, I was hoping we would get more of a broader response from the 150+ blogs on the network.  So for topic #2 I wanted to pick something more generic and easier to blog on.  Our topic is why go to Black Hat.  Most of the blogger network members either go to Black Hat or wish they did.  Why?  Lets hear your reasons for going to Black Hat. Is it the briefings?  the parties? seeing old friends? what?  I am hoping to see a lot of blogs on this subject from all of our BHBN member blogs!

I should also point out that Black Hat is doing some great promos leading up to the show.  They have a great webinar coming up today that I totally spaced on because I wanted to give everyone more notice and time to register. In the meantime, don't be like Mike, I mean Shimmy, go register and check out the webcast!  Also be on the look out for some of the other great events they have cooking, as well as registering for the Black Hat Twitter feed.
