The conference is held in Los Angeles, California.
The organizer identifies researchers, practitioners, security professionals, and developers among the conference audience.
It is most useful for security researchers and practitioners who want peer-reviewed technical work and discussion with people from academia, industry and government, since the program consists of reviewed papers, invited talks, panels and workshops. Executives looking for a vendor-heavy show or sales leads would get less from it, because the format is academic and practitioner focused rather than a commercial expo.
Attendees at academic and practitioner security conferences usually wear casual clothing, such as jeans or chinos with a t-shirt or casual button-down, with a few government and industry attendees in business casual. Los Angeles in December is mild, so a light jacket is enough for evenings.
