The event will show case the work of expert security researchers from around the world on a wide range of topics. Breakpoint is organised by the Ruxcon conference team and will offer a specialised and more professional security conference to complement and lead into the larger and more casual Ruxcon weekend conference. Breakpoint will cater towards security researchers and industry professionals alike, with a focus on cutting edge security research. With just one day separating both conferences, Breakpoint presents a great opportunity for our selected speakers to receive a complimentary trip to Australia and experience both the Breakpoint and Ruxcon conferences, not to mention the great weather, awesome parties, and friendly people. Melbourne is Australia's cultural capital, with Victorian-era architecture, extensive shopping, museums, galleries, theatres, and large parks and gardens. It is a city of many subcultures, personalities and styles, and it is these layers that make it so interesting. Melbourne has a vibrant arts and music scene, eccentric cafes, cobbled lane-ways, quirky shops, intimate bars and restaurants, and is known as one of the world's great streetart capitals.
