 lage Labs)\n   - [1]Map\n\n   Description:\n\n   Social engineering not ju
 st a specialized skill used by elite hackers\,\n   professional con artist
 s\, or unnervingly charismatic strangers. In\n   reality\, the same few ps
 ychological vulnerabilities show up\n   everywhere: in negotiations\, job 
 interviews\, sales pitches\, security\n   breaches\, party tricks\, and ev
 eryday conversations...\n\n   And YOU can use them\, too.\n\n   In this in
 teractive session\, magician and social-engineering educator\n   Brian Bru
 shwood reveals four psychological backdoors that can make\n   people more 
 likely to trust\, comply\, disclose\, and cooperate. You will\n   see each
  principle demonstrated\, learn why it works\, and practice\n   using it t
 hrough safe\, low-stakes exercises with other attendees.\n\n   These are t
 he tricks that can be used by good guys and bad to\n   convince\, and buil
 d rapport quickly\, lower resistance\, and make an\n   unlikely request fe
 el surprisingly reasonable.\n\n   By learning how these techniques feel fr
 om the inside\, attendees will\n   become better at using influence delibe
 rately\, and better at\n   recognizing when someone is using it on them.\n
 \n   No previous social-engineering experience is required. Just bring a\n
    willingness to talk to strangers\, learn a magic trick or two\, and\n  
  discover how alarmingly hackable human beings really are.\n\n   SpeakerBi
 o:  Brian Brushwood\n   Brian Brushwood has spent 25 years teaching millio
 ns of people how\n   deception works: first as a touring magician\, then a
 s creator/host of\n   Scam School / Scam Nation\, host of National Geograp
 hic's Hacking the\n   System\, creator of The Modern Rogue\, and host of W
 orld's Greatest Con.\n   His work focuses on scams\, magic\, persuasion\, 
 social engineering\, and\n   the mechanics of trust: how it is built\, exp
 loited\, defended\, and\n   rehearsed. Through Scam School and Scam Nation
 \, Brian spent nearly two\n   decades turning ordinary non-deceivers into 
 capable ethical deceivers\,\n   helping them understand cons and persuasio
 n from the inside. Brian has\n   delivered keynotes to audiences of thousa
 nds and recently developed an\n   experimental offense-to-defense social e
 ngineering curriculum\, piloted\n   at Clemson University with CISO John H
