Rooted CON: Security Congress. Madrid, March 2010 Spain (by Romansoft)
In the insecure world we live in there are thousands of security incidents every day. Most of them were never disclosed. But reality is that millions of personal computers are currently compromised and hundreds of servers are “rooted” (“hacked”) each day.
It is necessary that everyone is aware about the importance of security today and that our knowledge on this subject gets increased and be renewed frequently. And for this, there is nothing better than a congress that aims to bring together security experts from around the world and learn from them.
If you're passionate about security as much as we do … this is YOUR congress and you can't miss it! … RootedCON figure as new Supporting Associations on BugCON

HM09- Hackmitin '09 Mexico October 9-11, DF (by Hackmitin)
Hackmeeting is a story twelve years old. Hackmeeting has been born in 1998 and has been hold every year since that date, all over Italy, from north to south, in Florence, Milan, Rome, Bologna, Turin, Pisa, Genoa, Naples, Palermo, Catania, Parma.
Now the first time on Mexico City offers workshop, conferences, spontaneous discussion, cyber art performances, and much more. Each proposed activity, though, is meant as one of the facet of a philosophical framework based on sharing, openness, decentralization, free access, human evolution, and aimed at a political outcome.
Hackmeeting is organized by a community of hackers unique in the world for its desire to funnel the hacker ethics into political activism, far beyond the limits of the technological environment. The Hackmeeting community thinks hacking is a tool to alter reality and society as a whole.
The Hackmeeting is usually a three-days long event and it's completely self-organized.

BugCON Security Conferences aim to be a different security event in Mexico; the idea is to offer a place where all security researchers can show the latest research without unnecessary formalisms, in a uncensored enviroment and with a high technical level. Speakers who presented at BugCON are among the best and brightest in their respective fields. All the conferences are original, no copies. If you want to participate as a speaker please read the Call For Papers (CFP).
BugCON is a brand new event, but it has great potential for becoming one of the most important security conventions of the world. Your participation in BugCON will help you to maintain your leadership in security topics and give you the opportunity to exchange ideas with other security researchers with similar interests.
