Look forward to DisInfoSec 2023

DisInfoSec 2022 isn’t happening! Sorry, Kim Crawley got distracted by career and pandemic related stuff. But the good news is that DisInfoSec 2023 is happening in on Saturday, January 14th, 2023. That means the event has only been delayed for a few months from its original September 2022 date.
