"Good. I had a lot of fun. "

Meeting people! I enjoyed meeting up with new people the most. It was fun! That's the reason I attended.

"Great opportunity to network and meet people"

I love seeing so many industry trends laid out (and playing out) in one concentrated area (the expo floor) and the opportunity to talk to people I have worked with in the abstract and meet new people in person. I also really liked the speaker reception; it was great to meet people with the same experiences and anxieties I had and cheer each other on.

"At Black Hat USA, the energy is electric, with cybersecurity enthusiasts discussing cutting-edge vulnerabilities, showcasing the latest tech in the Business Hall, sharing open-source tools in the Arsenal, and connecting through various events, leaving attendees enlightened and eager for the next edition. "

What I liked best was the groundbreaking research revealed in the technical briefings, providing fresh insights into cybersecurity.

I had a great experience this year. The, the content of the talks was great, but I think I got the most value out of the opportunities to network and meet people that came through. not just the speaker and VIP receptions, but also some of the the the sponsored sessions and the opportunities to sort of walk the floor and, and chat with people. It was a really great experience, I think in large part because of all of the people I had the opportunity to meet.

The event was excellent. There was lots and lots of really good exhibitors and lots of really interesting people and good conversations and the presentations were excellent. Some of the speakers were definitely world last local speakers. definitely were well worth time going to it.

Overall, it was a great experience that I think the, the venue and how it provided opportunity for everyone to kind of connect, learn different things. get a, a global, get a a local regional experience, you know. it was really enjoyable, I think it was a great event. A lot of activities, a lot of great speakers, A lot of great presentations, the only downside or I say the negative would be, I think of having both the, the speaking sessions and the Expo hall on the same place. It made it very, very loud and sometimes it can be very hard to hear the speakers or if you're speaking or on a pat on the stage, it's very hard to hear each other. So I think that was the the only negative.

This is my fifth time. I think attending Black Hat USA in person. And I'm really glad that the event is back after the pandemic and several years of primarily virtual attendance. Black Hat has always had a reputation of kind of being a grittier counterpart to RS A where hacker culture is alive and well, and there's a lot of Vegas nightlife and that is still true. The parties are excellent and I feel like there's a lot of kind of variation in and the attendees and their cultures and their backgrounds. I will say there was some bumps in the road this year in terms of logistics with registration and food. I will also note that I think Black Hat has a long ways to go in terms of increasing the diversity equity and inclusion among their speakers. But it's still a great event.

The conference went great. About 70 K people arrived at the conference, there were many vendors as large as, as ever. And we've seen a lot of prospects and the potential for growth. I would recommend this, especially if you are tacky. So you're looking for the mix for mixing it up with the some talks and briefings. That will be a perfect combination for your buck.

Great Networking and Learning Opportunity!

What did you like best about the event?

Well-organized despite the long lines and great informational sessions, and the event hall is extremely impressive.

What could the organizers do to improve the event?

The badge printing process caused me a bit of a challenge - my pass never got printed, so it took me 15 minutes with customer service.

It was an enjoyable conference, and I appreciated its support of its hacker roots with Arsenal and briefings.

What did you like best about the event?

It is getting to network with a wide swath of different security practitioners across many other industries.

What could the organizers do to improve the event?

Arsenal presenters not being able to set up ahead of time if they were in the first slot was frustrating.

Great opportunity to network and meet people

What did you like best about the event?

What could the organizers do to improve the event?

I wish the expo floor were a little easier to navigate without a specific booth number and that there were more places to hang out and relax because those provide places to meet people organically—also, more opportunities to get snacks between meals.
