Hacker Halted
October 10th, 2019
- October 11th, 2019
South, USA
»
Georgia
Hacker Halted was literally the first ever Cybersecurity Conference we ever attended in Miami and we’re fans of the “Hacker Halted” series that they’ve been running since, we believe, 2012. We like these events because of the duration and commitment they’ve shown to the community. If you work in the Cybersecurity industry in Atlanta, Georgia, then we’d encourage you to get involved.

Needless to say, DEF CON is a major event on the InfoSec event calendar. We’ve always recommended the DEF CON hacker conference as a must attend since 2013 when we first started this directory.

Black Hat USA
August 3rd, 2019
- August 8th, 2019
South, USA

Black Hat and DEF CON used to be the same organization and were both founded by Jeff Moss.

Infosecurity Europe
June 4th, 2019
- June 6th, 2019
United Kingdom
This is one of the UK’s largest Cybersecurity Conferences of 2019 so we’ve obviously had to include this one. This conference has over 400 vendors. Whilst not strictly speaking a “conference” in the traditional sense this event does have a ton of talks.
Cyber Security & Cloud Expo
April 25th, 2019

- April 26th, 2019
United Kingdom
Say no more: this is the (apparently) world’s ‘largest’ IoT event and we believe them.

April 24th, 2019

April 3rd, 2019

International Conference on Global Security, Safety & Sustainability
January 16th, 2019

We recommend this event for 2019 because it encompasses everything to do with Cybersecurity. Northumbria University, which has an excellent Cybersecurity Programme, has created an excellent conference. We’ve also included this UK InfoSec event in our recommended list because of Brexit; there’s no doubt that a Hard Brexit will have severe security issues for the United Kingdom.
