So you decided to start up a hacker conference in your town? Awesome! Now how the hell are you going to get money? Ill tell you how! A little bit of BS (well perhaps a touch more than that), a pinch of social engineering, and a whole lot of patience and spamming! Apply my concepts not only to conferences, but your Hacker Space, local ISSA chapter, or maybe even your schools cyber defense team. Who knows? Just get that cash!
