Hacker Conference

“Hacker Conferences” are one of the most popular categorizations that we have used throughout our Cybersecurity Conference directory.

What constitutes a “Hacker Conference”?
Difficult to say! But – we'd wager that the best way to associate an event with it being a “HackerCon” or other is one in whereby the focus is directed towards the research and “proof of concept” – rather than a Vendor-Led event.

It's a little tricky to get this categorization correct each time and with that being said we'd encourage you to search our homepage for upcoming Hacker Conferences in your city, US State of country.

Also! It's worth us mentioning here that we also have a specific page dedicated to our recommended “Hacker Conferences” of 2019.
