Black Hat USA at Mandalay Bay

Black Hat USA is a major commercial information-security conference founded in 1997 that is held annually in Las Vegas. The event includes technical briefings, hands-on training, and an associated business-focused expo that draws security professionals and vendors worldwide. In recent years Black Hat USA has been held at the Mandalay Bay Convention Center during the conference week in July or August. The show often occurs the week before the DEF CON hacker conference, creating an annual security-industry week in Las Vegas.
