Defcon - European Equivalent?

ironclaw

Hi Folks,

Just a general query. Often thought about going to Defcon in Vegas and beyond, but the cost of airfare and the ticket price has put me off thus far. Was probably in the best position last year as I was working California but work put a halt to it.

So, what conferences are worth attending in Europe? Or are they worth it at all?

Can't edit my post but I'll give a +1 for Hack.lu.

BruCON is a really good first con as well and I'm heading again this year.
