Tod Beardsley is the Director of Research at Rapid7. He has over 30 years of hands-on security experience, stretching from in-band telephony switching to modern IoT implementations. He has held IT ops, security, software engineering, and management positions in large organizations such as 3Com, Dell, and Westinghouse, as both an offensive and defensive practitioner.
Today, Tod directs the security research program at Rapid7, is a zealous advocate for coordinated vulnerability disclosure, is a CVE Board member, is a contributing author to a number of research papers produced by Rapid7, is a podcaster on Security Nation, and is a Travis County Election Judge in Texas. Because of this last qualifier, it is permissible to address him as "Your Honor."

This list shouldn't include booth talks or other very vendor or customer specific events (which I do a lot of at RSAC and Black Hat).
THOTCon (2015), Black Hat (2006), ShmooCon (2020), SharkFest (2011), LoneStar RubyConf (2008), CyberMed Summit (2022), Def Con (2013, 2014), RSAC (2016, 2021), SXSWi (2016, 2017, 2018), DC Voting Village (2018, 2019, 2020, 2021), DerbyCon (2015, 2016, 2017), Infosec Southwest (2016, 2017, 2018), Infosec Europe (2014, 2015), probably more
