PHDays Everywhere initiative is an remote event similar to 28C3: No Nerd Left Behind

Since the available space at PHDays will not be enough to accommodate everyone, ther will be webcast of the event available to provide an opportunity for the Internet community to actively participate in the forum. To ensure that PHDays does not become boring sitting behind a monitor, orgas decided to introduce PHDays Everywhere.

Internet forum participants are provided with the following features:

• Join the audience through the internet HD-broadcast (English and Russian languages).
• Participate in discussions and ask questions of the speakers coming online.
• Take part in the fantastic Hack Quest, to demonstrate their hacking skills and compete for prizes.

Following 2011 success 1,000+ visitors are expected in 2012. Half of these people are key players in the security industry in Russia and the CIS, as well as international experts on information security, and world-renowned hackers. Also invited are CIOs, CISOs and leading experts from banking, telecom, oil & gas, government and various other private and public organizations.
