Greetings from #shmoocon, the well-loved D.C. cybersecurity conference. I'll be live-tweeting selected talks and other goings-on over the next three days.

Shmoocon is one of my favorite local conferences - it's a great mix of quality and intimacy. You're as likely to see a senate aide discuss infosec policy priorities as then-White House Cybersecurity Coordinator Rob Joyce talk about his love of elaborate Christmas lights.
The latter example was real. And great. #shmoocon.
#Shmoocon is probably best known for its unique form of audience interactivity. If you disagree with a speaker, you are invited to throw a nerf shmoo ball at the lectern to register disapproval.
