WAHCKon Conference Tickets 10% off (Perth Based Hacker Conference)

30
ozbargain

Hello OzBargainers!

We’d like to offer you a discount to WAHCKon, Perth’s hacker conference. First I’ll field the obvious question though: “Isn’t hacking bad/illegal/otherwise a problem”. Well the answer to that one is that hacking as a term has been abused by the media a fair bit, hacking is simply making use of a system in a way that it wasn’t intended. So hacking isn’t implicitly a bad thing, it can lead modifying devices to perform beyond what was intended, gaining further access to a device you own (in the case of jail breaks & rooting), finding flaws in your own security so they can be fixed or yes, in some cases hacking can be used for illegal purposes. Rest assured WAHCKon focuses on the positive side of hacking and does not tolerate or condone any illicit activity.

So, what’s the offer? Well We’d like to offer 10% off our normal ticket price of $50. This gets you access to two days of talks and activities (as well as a pretty sweet metal conference badge!).

Concession tickets are available for $30 with the $5 discount still being available, you will need to show valid, current student/health care card/pension card/something convincing when arriving at the venue.

The event runs on the 2nd and 3rd of May at the Empyrean function centre in Northbridge.

    Thx OP. Interesting. Concession, only for full-time students? or online is also applicable?

      Online is fine, if you don't have student ID you could print out details of your enrolment from your education provider's website.

    ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

    Hmmmm …the title sounds a lot different to a Hacker Conference.

    Will hackers who hack the system and issue themselves free tickets be admitted entry?

    • We have outsourced ticketing to Eventbrite because we were actually worried about this…

      As funny as the idea is, I have to say… no :P

    If I put my name down as Edward Snowden or Julian Assange, will I get in free ?

    • I think those names on our attendee list might complicate things somewhat :P

  • is my computer being hacked into for opening this post at this very moment?

    • in all seriousness - when is this coming to melbourne?
    • We're not looking at expanding just yet. But keep an eye out in future :)
