Date : 9 October 2010.
Location : University of Joburg. Joburg.
Cost : The goal is to hit breakeven on the costs,  so an entry fee (if charged) will be low.

Many other conferences exist to cater either to the strictly Academic or Professional individual. We want a simple community based forum  that is completely  free of  corporate affiliation (or shilling). The intention behind this  is that the passion for the field or of sharing knowledge should  be  the primary motivation  of attending or speaking at this conference.

We aim to fulfill these objectives:
* Provide a platform for publication of infosec research
* Showcase free locally-developed infosec tools
* Support  the interaction of industry, academia and  the interested public
* Encourage discussion on infosec / hackery / sec-related-geekery at large
* Build the ZA infosec community
* Provide a platform to up-n-coming talent

Closing date for submissions is 20 August 2010.
