Hmm...it was my first time there and my first thought was Jeebus it was crowded and on the disorganized side (at first)...I was told that it was quite a step up (location wise) from the previous conferences, but it was still jam-packed and fighting through the crowd to get a decent seat was a royal pain...There was alot of pretty cool stuff going on though (automated robots shooting targets (contest), CTF, Wall of Sheep, tons of gear/junk, and the lockpick village (not to mention the talks)...and of course the spot the fed had an interesting twist of someone sleeping with an attendee and then reporting him as a fed


The quality of the talks varied WIDELY...some were great (most of the great ones were ones that were given at BlackHat, which I was happy about cause I didn't get to hear them all at blackhat since around 7 talks or so would go on at once)...and of course the parties were fun...still trying to recover from that trip...some of the talks were just uhm....bad.

I can elaborate if you wanted more comments, but it seems you are just after general impressions...
