ShmooCon Speaker Line Up Announced

The 15th of December has come and gone and The Shmoo Group has officially announced the speakers for the upcoming hackfest taking place in our very own Washington, DC. With a new “BELYAT IT” track replacing the longstanding “BREAK IT” track to focus more on strategic/long term topics, it’s sure to be a conference much different from previous years. A few local folks that made the elite list include Michael “@theprez98” Schearer and David “@darthnull” Schuetz. Congrats guys! If there’s anyone else that we missed let us know in the comments.

Here’s The Shmoo Group’s official announcement of the talks and speakers as of yesterday. Please check ShmooCon’s News feed for any changes to the line-up. Also this same feed contains a follow-up post with some interesting stats, including total submissions (202), acceptance rate (~18%), male vs. female count, word trends (yeah “cyber” made it in the top 10), and more.
