Anitian started building plans to do a "Pacific Northwest Security Summit" last year, but abandoneded it because it was just too expensive and time consuming. Opting instead for smaller, sponsored seminars. Maybe the time is ripe to do an Oregon version of DefCon/BlackHat?

    Umm, as much as I love visiting Breitenbush, it seems like the wrong place
    for an infosec conference- I doubt they could handle our power consumption
    & network bandwidth requirements. Also, frankly, I don't know that they 
    would want the number of gawkers (since it is a clothing optional retreat)
    that such a gathering would bring.
