About 44CON 2025 format
We have had a few questions following our last mailout.
- Why is 44CON changing location in the venue?
Venue costs have increased and businesses are less able to sponsor external events. Rather than reduce the quality of the content of the conference, the team has relocated to a smaller part of the venue to offer a more exclusive setting for 2025.
- How much are tickets going up?
Tickets are £399 inc VAT initially, which is a modest increase from last year’s cost. Tickets will be limited and cost will increase nearer the event so buy yours now!
- Will there be fewer speakers as a result?
No. You will still receive the same great value from your ticket as before, as you can see from the lists above.
- Is this the end of 44CON?
No. This year we are trialling a smaller, boutique experience and considering how to continue improving the event for future. 44CON provides a unique opportunity to meet with professional and hobbyist security experts in one location to share knowledge, collaborate and learn. We want to continue our rich legacy in supporting this. If you have any feedback, please email us.
