Security Conference “DerbyCon” Makes a Splash in the Information Security Field with a Huge Speaker Lineup. A New Hackercon is Born
DerbyCon is a new hacker conference in the heart of Louisville, Kentucky’s 4th Street Live. DerbyCon isn’t just another security conference, we’ve taken the best elements from all of the conferences we’ve ever been to and put them into one. This conference is a place you can call home, where you can meet each other or new people, party, and learn.
Welcome to a new age in security conferences, a new beginning, and a new way to share in the information security space. Our goal is to create a fun environment where the security community can come together and share ideas.
