Hacking Android, iOS: B-Sides Cape Town security conference
Security enthusiasts in Cape Town who were not able to buy tickets to BSidesCapeTown 2014 before they sold out, will be happy to know that the organisers have issued an additional 40 tickets.
Those interested in attending the conference, which will be held at Dimension Data on 2 Fir Street, Cape Town, can buy tickets from the event’s Quicket page for R120.
The organisers have kindly provided a discount code for MyBroadband readers, reducing the ticket price to R100 by entering the discount code “MyBB2014”.
Asked about the ticket sales and number of attendees, conference organiser Istvan Berko said that they had 72 people signed up before the new tickets were issued.
They are expecting 100–120 attendees, Berko said.
