Conferences in generall are really good. They allow people with a simular interest to meet and change ideas even if a lot of it is garbage. In the end it's for you to make the decision as to what is useful. I really didn't like Jurassic Park 2 (The Lost World) mainly because there was so much media hype even though it was exactly the same as Jurassic Park (1). People attiudes change, influenced by the media. Don't let them change you! As for Defcon, never been. Live in Australia but am planing to go sometime with a friend.
