The Ruxcon team is pleased to announce call for papers for Breakpoint 2013.
Breakpoint showcases the work of expert security researchers from around the
world on a wide range of topics. This conference is organised by the Ruxcon
team and offers a specialised security conference to complement and lead into
the larger and more casual Ruxcon weekend conference. Breakpoint caters
towards security researchers and industry professionals alike, with a focus on
cutting edge security research.
Breakpoint presents a great opportunity for our selected speakers to receive a
complimentary trip to Australia and experience both the Breakpoint and Ruxcon
conferences, not to mention the great weather, awesome parties, and friendly
people. Melbourne is a city of many subcultures, personalities and styles.
Melbourne has a vibrant arts and music scene, eccentric cafes, intimate bars
and restaurants, and is known as Australia's cultural capital.
