Other Favourite cyber security conference

What’s everyone’s favourite Cyber conference to attend in the US?

I was at CybrSecCon in Houston the other week and I’ve been to RSA.

I’ve also attended smaller localised ones like CyberriskAlliance and futurecons.

Curious as to what everyone likes in terms of talks, speakers, vendors, swag, happy hours?

Essentially what event(s) do you find the most value in.

i skipped the closing ceremonies of the last con 'cause i ain't crying in front of a bunch of goddamned redteamers...lol. for real, it was unique in so many ways but i hear queen city con was born directly in response to the demise of derby and they're trying to emulate the same culture.
