Welcome to 44CON 2026 pre-event news

We closed the CFP at the end of May and we are very happy to announce our first round of speakers.

You'll find them all listed on our website with the titles, their talks, and you also find a link to the draft schedule.

I must stress that the schedule of subjects may be changed depending on speakers' availability and life issues. So please don't be disappointed if a couple of changes happen before the event.

One thing I want to highlight is that the talks this year are really good. We have, I think, the broadest selection of coverage of security current issues and future issues.

If you're a red teamer, we have an Offensive path through the conference schedule that allows you to stay offensive the whole time.

If you're a purple or blue teamer, you'll find a Defensive path for you.

If you like AI security, you'll find there's a path for you too most of the time.

If you can't stand AI and don't want to know anything about it, security wise, there's a path for you.

With the combination of two speaking tracks and a workshop track, we hope that everyone can get huge amounts of value and stay happy the entire event.

As ever, we can confirm that the excellent coffee will be back.

Tickets.

1st round, 1st batch of tickets are available now. These map to the Early Bird tickets of previous years, and these are the cheapest tickets that we can offer.

We will release tickets in batches with a price increase with each release. We'd love to break even this year, so please help us by not buying in early rounds if you can afford to wait till the later rounds.

For the first time we're also offering a supporter bundle. This will get you your logo and a paragraph about your organisation, or you, in the mailing list and on the website, as a thank you for being a 44CON Supporter. And two tickets and more.

We are also working on sponsor a student tickets. We should have news in the newsletter next week.

We hope to have the announcement of workshops next week, and more speakers.

We'll announce a training course from Stephen Berger next week, a highly technical training, analysing and depicting Linux rootkits, from Live Response to Memory Forensics to Reverse Engineering the samples, and delivered in London for the first time. We are also looking at training from Fs0ciety00.

I look forward to seeing you in September!
