What is Hackboat??
Hackboat is an unconference, which removes the usual emphasis on formal workshops and talks of a traditional conference structure and instead focuses on informal connections.
What does this mean? We threw out the schedule! (Okay, not all of it — you do have to show up on time or the boat will leave without you.) But, there's no talk tracks. No CFP. Just people and fun stuff to do — this con is ALL HallwayCon.
Cruise on the river with fellow members of the Portland InfoSec Community, eat food, drink, tell stories, and have a great time.
