Paid delegates can now log into our CFP database, read and review our proposed presentations and share their ratings and comments with Black Hat. Your ratings will help us create the show you want to attend, and even help focus presentations as they're being created. We are excited to see what kind of information we learn about what interests our delegates and what kind of talks meet their needs best. We've always said that our delegates make Black hat the experience it is, and we're glad to have the opportunity to extend their influence on the final product. To read more about this new opportunity, go to: https://www.blackhat.com/html/blackpages/blackpages.html We're also unveiling an "Un-Track" where attendees create their own mash-up style presentations - so if you've got something to share with the security community, this is your moment. Continuing a popular new BH development, we will also have speaker Q&A rooms after every presentation to help you follow up with your speaker and network with likeminded delegates. Still have a question that didn't quite get answered? Follow your speaker and continue the conversation.

We'll be bringing another strong lineup of speakers and trainers and the best lineup of technical security presentations available in Japan. We hope to see you there! About Black Hat The Black Hat Briefings are a series of highly technical information security conferences that bring together thought leaders from all facets of the infosec world - from the corporate and government sectors to academic and even underground researchers. The environment is strictly vendor-neutral and focused on the sharing of practical insights and timely, actionable knowledge. Black Hat remains the best and biggest event of its kind, unique in its ability to define tomorrow's information security landscape. 15 years at the intersection of network security and hacker ingenuity is what makes Black Hat the one-of-a-kind conference it is, one where the establishment and the underground are equally at home. In addition to the large number of short, topical presentations in the Briefings, Black Hat also provides hands-on, high-intensity, multi-day Trainings. The Training sessions are provided by some of the most respected experts in the world and many also provide formal certifications to qualifying attendees. Arrangements can also be made to bring Black Hat's trainers to your location for private and customized training.
