[Overview]
After taking two years off to work on our surfing skills we decided it
was time to bring some top notch
technical talent back to one of the most remote locations on earth.  

Sitting around somewhere freezing your a$$ off?  Dreaming about warm
days, rainbows, decadent 
tropical drinks sipped out of coconuts? Sure you could drop your 0day in
Vegas, bring down the 
Internet in Germany, or satisfy your dark desires in Asia; however,
wouldn't you rather submit your 
research or topics to our CFP and maybe win yourself a paid trip to
Hawaii?  

The Shakacon security conference is a laid back conference where
industry, government, academia 
and independent experts will get together to share knowledge and
experience in one of the most
beautiful places on Earth.  

Shakacon will offer local, national, and international participants a
casual, social, learning 
environment designed to present a "holistic" security view and the
opportunity to network with 
peers and fellow enthusiasts in a relaxed setting.  Leave your ego at
the airport (or shoreline 
if you come in via another method) as we look forward to attendees
varying in skill level from N00b 
to Ninja.
  
During the day, sessions will include: best practices, case studies,
research projects, etc. 
covering all different aspects of the information security landscape.
There will be something 
for everyone and if sitting through talks isn't your cup of kava, there
will be exciting events 
and contests for you to sharpen your skills and knowledge on.

[Trainer Opportunities]
Don't want to speak at the Con but have an uncanny ability to teach and
a proven track record for 
delivering quality courseware and want to come to Hawaii? We're also
interested in bringing in trainers
to provide world class training leading up to Shakacon (June 18 and 19).
Submit a synopsis/class agenda, 
prior teaching experience, and maybe get selected to teach in Hawaii.

There are a limited number of speaking sessions for which the conference
organizers will provide 
travel and accommodations so please submit your abstract early if you
are interested in speaking.  Speaking 
slots will be 55 minutes long (45 minutes for your talk and 10 minutes
for Q&A); however, we will accept 
"turbo" talk submissions and if we have enough we'll blend them into a
block of the conference.

The audience will be a broad mix of professional, academic, and
enthusiast, so we welcome both technical 
and non-technical submissions on all aspects of security.  The key
criteria are practicality and timeliness.  
We want to provide our attendees with up to date materials they can take
away and immediately gain
benefit from as well as new research or tools.  Absolutely NO SALES
presentations will be accepted.
