Ah, Vienna! Graz is nice too - I had a very nice fortnight there as a teenage exchange student.
But rar! and yay! and woo! for crypto conferences.
*muses* How does one distinguish between a conference whose subject is broadly crypto{graphy|logy} and one that is secret? I suppose you could go for 'crypto conference' for the former and 'crypto-conference' for the latter. Could you go a stage further and distinguish between cipher-related get-togethers whose entire existence is secret and those where it is only the fact that their topic is to do with such matters? i.e. 'crypto crypto-conference' vs. 'crypto-crypto conference'.
Ooh - and I suppose a 'crypto-crypto-conference' wouldn't necessarily be in your fave area but it'd be one that was not only hidden, but the fact that it was hidden was in some way concealed.
I'll resist the urge to extend this to level three for now ...
