“I think what I'd love for people to think about this series is the spirit of camaraderie and the spirit of community that has always been there in information security. And I think one of the really cool things about this series is that it creates a concentrated digestible version of that really enriching, magical experiences, where people who are passionate about their topic and just kind of get together and talk. And it's not about getting the predictions right so much as it is about having a conversation.” — Erick Rudiak
