​
If you have the privilege of being in a position to purchase a donate-a-ticket, you'll be providing the same gifts to someone else! Gifted tickets will be offered to educational groups and institutions, as well as people who may otherwise be unable to attend. You kind, beautiful human/nonhuman you <3
Call For Papers is now open!
Topics should be tangentially cybersecurity related subjects that you’d like to share with others. Or space related. Or both. Or none if you're determined to convince us we should listen to your talk! Sweet exploit demos are cool n’all (and we LOVE a live demo), but we love providing our participants with a veritable smorgasbord of tasty treats. We offer mentors, reviewers of ideas, and helpful feedback.
​
First-time speaker? Great! We’d love to hear from you. There will be a rookie track. Want to talk about something non-security, THANK DEITY (or other thankful article of choice) - there will be a non-security track aptly named Side Tracked. SQUIRREL.
​
No idea is a bad idea, unless the Eff Bee Eye show up (in which case our “Lawyer” Scoot McLeafblower will be your last worst hope. Do not require this).
​
The audience will range from kids to students to weary aged practitioners who wish they’d made better choices to people looking to break into the industry to those who are cyber-curious.
​
No vendor pitches please, you can do those in your own personal time. Or at big trade shows / 2am in the nightclub. Or at your very own event stall.
