RVAsec tickets on sale now for $50

Not $100!The base ticket price for RVAs3c is $100. However,  until 3/14 all registrations will be half off–only $50!

For the last two years RVAsec has brought the best speakers to Richmond, kept attendees fed and watered, and ensured everyone had a great time for the lowest possible cost. Despite selling out both conferences, the large number of late registrations is a serious problem and adds to conference costs. So this year we are trying something different & raising the base price a little, but offering a deep discount to encourage early registration,

And if that’s not enough incentive to purchase your tickets early, late registrations (after 5/17) will be $150!

Don’t forget all the things you get with registration, including 2 full days of talks, parking, meals, snacks, drinks, reception, prizes, a capture the flag contest, t-shirt & swag!

So, to recap the conference prices:

  • $50 discounted price until 3/14
  • $100 regular price until 5/16
  • $150 late registration until 5/30

Once again there will be no tickets sold at the door, and don’t forget that RVAs3c has sold out every year–so don’t wait!

Register now!

Surveys, Slides, Videos and more!

RVAsec 2013 is over and we are very pleased with how everything turned out!  It was an aggressive move to grow the way we did this year, but we heard your feedback loud and clear, and you demanded more!

The first year RVAsec was a 1 day single track conference that attracted approximately 170 attendees.  This year, we grew to 2 days, 2 tracks and had over 265 attendees!

Some thanks are in order for:

  • Our brilliant keynote speakers Alex Hutton and Chris Wysopal
  • The amazing speakers that shared their time and knowledge!
  • All of the trainers for providing affordable classes to the RVA community
  • Hack.RVA for once again making awesome badges
  • Hope and VCU for all of their support and the facility
  • All of the volunteers for donating their time to ensure everything was in order
  • The sponsors for making it possible to put on the conference
  • Rapid7 for the after party
  • Create A Print & Sign for the shirts
  • The CTF team for putting on an amazing event
  • And of course to everyone that attended RVAsec 2013!

 

We are in the process of cleaning up some loose ends to wrap up RVAsec 2013.  Here are a few other quick updates:

  • Attendee survey will be out soon–we need your feedback to make RVAsec 2014 even better, so please take a few minutes to complete it
  • Training feedback survey has been sent to all attendees
  • Slides will be posted soon
  • We will be starting post processing on video in the coming days and will have them ready as soon as possible.

Jericho added to RVAsec lineup!

Just in case you still haven’t bought a ticket for RVAsec a day before registration ends, here’s a bit more to sweeten the pot: Jericho of attrition.org (@attritionorg) has agreed to present again! We’re  not sure what he’ll come up with on short notice, but we’ve demanded it end with a standing ovation.

In case you missed his talk from last year, here’s the video:
