Although registration is not cheap, the evening sessions/BoFs, "Partner Showcases", and, perhaps most interestingly, the debate between Dan Geer and a security chief from Microsoft have all been made free.
The Partner Showcases (both hardware exhibits and books) are taking place Tuesday and Wednesday, the BoF (Special Interest Group) sessions are taking place tonight through Thursday on a wide variety of topics, many of which are not listed on the Web site.

The Debate and Partner Showcases do require a free registation (i.e. they want your name and address) so get there early for that process.
