These conferences are good to show new trends in various subject matter areas, (i.e. Forensics, Pen testing, etc.), but there also needs to be more emphasis on the user and managers.
There should also be a focus on the direction of audit which is as we all know a necessary EVIL. In the eyes of some a fool hardy paper chase. Audit is the proof that security exists. Without it there are no checks and balances. Without audit there will always be room for managers to pass the liability on to someone else.
