This past weekend (May 17-19), the hacker group in my local area HackMiami had their first conference, HackMiami 2013 and I attended. While not a member of the group, I have heard of them, and we've had them help out with some of our South Florida ISSA events. This is not an underground group. Most of the members actually work with/for many local IT security companies.
This was a hacker conference, which is a little different from a traditional IT Security conference. Some of the stuff done is a bit out there, there is expectation that the audience is more technical, and some sessions were more hands on then in most Security conferences.

HackMiami 2013 Conference this weekend
This weekend (May 17-19), local hacker group HackMiami is having their first conference, Hack Miami 2013. While not a member of the group, I have heard of them, and we've had them help out with some of our South Florida ISSA events.
Overall, the conference looks pretty good. They've organized 3 tracks, "old headz", "new headz", and "moral headz", so there should be a good mix of sessions to attend.
Seeing as how Hacker Halted USA isn't coming back to Miami this year (they're going to Atlanta this year), this may be the only major IT Security conference in the South Florida area.
Next week I'll post my comments on the event.
