What: The Wild West Hackin Fest 2019 (WWHF-19)
When: Oct 23-25, 2019
Where: The Deadwood Mountain Grand (Conf Hotel), Deadwood, South Dakota
Have you ever had the itch to go visit Deadwood, SD? If not, you should mosey on over to the Wild West Hackin’ Fest during the week of October 22.
Ladies and gentlemen, this is not your average local hacking conference. This diamond-in-the-rough draws in over 1,000 members of the top talent from all of the surrounding states. You’ll have the chance to learn from premier members of the cybersecurity industry, including our friend and owner of Black Hills Information Security, John Strand.
John wrote a detailed, five-part blog about Cylance back in 2017. More recently, he was a guest on our podcast, InSecurity. What is exciting is that his company not only sponsors this conference, but this will be the first time anyone at BlackBerry Cylance has been invited to speak at it. After being a speaker at multiple conferences around the world and fresh from BlackHat, I will be holding a fireside chat at WWHF, where I will present The Real Deal About AI.
The Real Deal About AI
Artificial Intelligence (AI) is impacting our world in previously unimaginable ways, but it’s still amazing how few vendors discuss how it really works. If you are looking for an insight into AI, this is the talk for you. We will cover the history of this incredibly innovative technology, what it is and what it is not, the steps required to produce a solution, the subfields that make up AI, how various industries are using it, and at the end of the presentation provide the reference list for you to dive deeper into this next generation field and get started for yourself.
Visit https://www.wildwesthackinfest.com/about/ today to register and prepare your company by learning the latest research and techniques involving underground threats and corporate defenses from your industry peers and mentors. If you’re looking for a thorough grounding in AI, this conference is the best bang for your buck. They’re even including two lunches and dinner.
I look forward to seeing you there!
-Josh Fu, BlackBerry Cylance
