If you've ever been part of a Call For Papers committee you know that
the information provided in the submission's abstract is generally
vague and ambiguous.
A talk could be a total Fail or THE talk that will define your
conference and ensure it will return next year. That's why we ask for
a draft version of the research and involve our technical team in
asking questions and vetting submissions.
As an attendee of a conference you of course have to decide which
conferences to attend. Immediate financial costs, scheduling time off,
logistical details, these are all headache inducing aspects of going
to a conference.
You read a vague abstract on a conference website but you are not
allowed to ask questions. You understand the Windows 8 heap, but does
this presenter really know what they're talking about or will this be
a waste of your time?
In the past folks have had to base their attendance decision on how
well the conference has been reviewed in the past (reviews which are
sometimes are paid for by the organizers) and on speaker reputation
(another criteria used by CFP committee).
At Infiltrate, we like you, heck we understand you because we've gone
through that ourselves. So in order to change this annoying process in
the infosec community, we're offering something different :).
 We are encouraging our selected speakers to be guest bloggers here,
to provide more in depth information on their topics and to field
questions.
The ball is now in your court, the shoe on your foot, the ace is in
your sleeve.
As an attendee you should take the time to research the subject and
try to get the most out of each of each talk. We generally like to
brag that our audience poses the most difficult questions to
presenters, let's try to keep that up!

Without further ado:
