Why I didn't go to VulnCon
VulnCon 2025 is over. I didn’t go. A bunch of people have asked me why, and rather than keep my answer to a small group, I thought it would make sense to write something public about it all. The TL;DR is I went to a different conference that I thought was a better use of my time. The conference I went to was Cyphercon and BSides Milwaukee. They are regional conferences in Wisconsin. Good people, great shows, a lot of fun and learning. Yeah, it was technically the week before VulnCon, but I lack the fortitude to do two conferences back to back. Some people can, I tip my hat to those folks. I’m not one of them. I should be clear though, this isn’t the only reason. I also don’t think VulnCon should exist (more on that at the end).
