Bro4Pros 2016
We are happy to announce that we will continue Bro4Pros, our one day workshop for advanced Bro users. Going beyond the introductory level of our regular BroCons, this workshop aims at users who are already using Bro on a daily basis, feel comfortable customizing its configuration, and have written a few scripts of their own already. The event will consist mainly of interactive live demos and practical talks. To ensure an interactive and productive atmosphere this workshop has a limited number of participants. There is no registration fee but we are limiting attendance on a first-come first-served basis. We will have a few slots for external presentations. We are looking for practical talks and demos on advanced topics that help experienced Bro users make even more of their setup. For more information please refer to the Call for Presentations section.
We thank our host Mozilla.
We are also happy to announce that GitHub will add food and drinks to our event. Thank you GitHub.

A lot of other parking lots and garages nearby can be found via Google Maps.
