It is an intense event with discussions, demos and interaction from participants." The last big event was held in Las Vegas to coincide with last summer's Black Hat and Defcon conferences. Next week's event will be held March 2-3 from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. at the pariSoma Innovation loft at 1436 Howard St. (at 10th), near the Moscone Center, where RSA 2010 will be held.
