Does anyone know if there are available CPE's at Blackhat or Defcon this year? I'd like to attend a conference and get some cpe's knocked out.

This excerpt from the CPE guide:

Attending a cybersecurity conference, like ISC2 Security Congress

But let's ask one of the experts: @CBMExamTeam would you be able to reply to this one?

You can check the ISC2 Certification Maintenance Handbook https://edge.sitecorecloud.io/internationf173-xmc4e73-prodbc0f-9660/media/Project/ISC2/Main/Media/documents/members/MEM-Certification-Maintenance-Handbook-Digital.pdf

If you attend a session, forum, class, etc., retain proof of attendance (in case you're audited), it can be categorized as a Group A (domain-related) or Group B (professional development). You may claim the experience for CPEs. You may, however, have to self-submit if you do not enter your ISC2 member ID when registering for the conference or the session, course, etc.
