PhreakNIC is an annual hacker and technology convention held in Nashville, Tennessee.
The Nashville Linux User Group was closely tied with PhreakNIC for the first 10 years, but is no longer an active participant in the planning.
First held in 1997, PhreakNIC continues to be a long-time favorite among hackers, security experts and technology enthusiasts.
[1] PhreakNIC consists of presentations on a variety of technical subjects, sometimes related to a conference theme.
PhreakNIC is intentionally scheduled not to coincide with a Titans home game, to give conference organizers full reign over the venue.
