I'll admit, I really stereotyped the Federal Information Security Conference (FISC). I saw the speakers and saw director, senior and thought manager… they don't have anything to teach me that I want to know. While there were a lot of manager types talking about some high level stuff (i.e. DoD 8570 and its affect on GS Civilians), mostly the FISC is about Government employees and their contractors getting exposure to the commercial market.
The great thing about it is that it brings together so much information security talent. I learned more from casual conversation then I did from four seperate briefings.
I don't think that the FISC is worth paying more than maybe $20 for. The reason I say this is because even though you learn somethings, those that benefit most from the FISC are the vendors who are actually doing most of the speaking.
