Growth and change can come in big doses or small increments. That can be professional or organizational growth or technical or societal change. Since we started doing BlueHat waaay back in 2005, I’ve seen some significant change at Microsoft, experienced a fair bit of professional and personal growth, and witnessed stunning technical and social change.

It seems like we only just had BlueHat v10, but already BlueHat v11 is less than a month away. Our schedule is ready, the banners are printed, and now seems like a great time to give some more detail on what’s coming up. As you probably know already, BlueHat is an invitation-only conference where security experts get to mingle with Microsoft’s own security team and core product groups.

This year marks the tenth BlueHat at Microsoft, and my sixth round in participating in the event that has been so instrumental in keeping Microsoft developers and executives in touch with the pulse of security research outside Microsoft, and serves as one of the key crossroads for the exchange of ideas from our internal security experts to the outside world.
