TOORCON COMPUTER SECURITY CONFERENCE 2002
ToorCon is a comprehensive three day computer security extraveganza featuring lectures from some of the top experts in the field, hands-on demonstrations of the newest approaches to computer security, and a competitive game called RootWars which tests your penetration and defensive skills in a real-time simulation. It will be held on September 27-29th in Downtown San Diego and starts off with a reception the The Bristol Hotel on 1055 First Ave., San Diego, CA 92101 (right across the street from the Concourse). The Conference will take place on Saturday, September 28th and Sunday, September 29th in the Grand Ballroom at the Westin Horton Plaza San Diego on 910 Broadway Circle, San Diego, CA 92101.

VENUE CHANGE
The venue of the talks has changed from the San Diego Concourse to the Westin Horton Plaza Hotel. Due to the increased number of attendees, the Westin will be able to facilitate growth a lot better. It also has a better atmosphere and is closer to San Diego Attractions. The reception will still be at the Bristol's Starlight Ballroom like last year. Currently all rooms at the Bristol are sold out, most of the surrounding hotel have vacancies.

PRICING
Pricing goes as follow: $50 for pre-registrations, $60 for RSVP, $75 at the door. With RSVP your telling us you will be attending but you want to pay at the door. This really helps us with the planning. The reason for an increase in price is we want to make enough money to roll over for the next year. Last year we barely broke even and the year before we were $1000 under. Our focus is having the BEST talks you can find at real people prices - with out having to file for bankruptcy :).
