--[ Approach

BugCON is merely a technical security conference. BugCON is focused in
getting together security researchers, security professionals,
companies, universities and goverment agencies with the purpose of
showing their latest research, networking with people involved in
security fields and get drunk ;) ... all taking place in an uncensored
environment.

This is the reason why BugCON only accepts really hardcore technical
talks and workshops related with security areas like: research, new
techniques, vulnerabilities, projects, etc. No business talks...
neither "CSI of computers" nor yellow scarves.
