    True, before I read Mitnick's book I knew about social engineering. The
    book provided great examples and was a good refresher though.

    That aside, could there be non-practitioners attending the conference?
    Wouldn't it be a good result for a CIO to walk away troubled by an
    example given by a Mitnick? Delivery by someone so infamous could carry
    more weight...
