FAQ

Common questions, before, during, and after.

The Adam W. Herbert University Center at the University of North Florida (UNF).

Will I need to pay for parking?

No. Free parking for event attendees at the front and back of the building, with multiple handicap-accessible spots available.

If you purchased a lunch ticket with your registration, a basic boxed lunch is provided: sandwich or wrap, potato chips, a cookie, and a canned soda.

Where else can I eat near UNF?

UNF sits next to St. Johns Town Center, so there are plenty of options within a short drive.

What is a Capture The Flag (CTF)?

A Jeopardy-style contest where teams compete to solve technical puzzles, find flags, and score points across categories like crypto, forensics, programming, and stego. Rookies welcome, sharks encouraged.

The code is handed out in the CTF room at the event.

Are there any ticket discounts?

Can I get proof of attendance for CPE credits?

Yes. Print the proof-of-attendance form and get it signed by a member of conference staff on-site.

Yes. Please read it before arriving. We enforce it.

Will talks be recorded?

Most main-track talks are recorded and released on our YouTube after the event, barring speaker opt-out.
