SUSHICON 7 Las Vegas 2017
SushiCon was started several years ago by Paul de Souza (CSFI Founder), Mark Coffin, CSFI Forum Manager/Moderator, and CSFI Communications Advisor Anthony M. Freed (Paul, Mark and Anthony are also known as “Los Tres Amigos“) with the intent to eat tons of Sushi while discussing the current state of cyber security, DEFCON/BH efforts, and many other topics of interest, and it has become an annual event.
Special thanks to our CSFI and MCPA members and to CSFI leadership for showing their support. A very special thanks to RA Sushi Las Vegas, Steve Thomas (Badge Master), Lauren Weatherly (CSFI Event Manager), our US Military, and to our friends who came all the way from Sweden to support SushiCON 7!
“Wisdom comes from paying attention to wise people. Love comes from always striving for the good of others and placing others before oneself.”
Los Tres Amigos!
