Hi!
44CON Assistance Programme
If you know a final year student or someone who is financially disadvantaged who wants to get started and build a network in the cybersecurity space, tell them that 44CON are running an assistance programme and to apply here.
We really would like to thank Google for their continuing support of the programme and watchTowr and BT for their help in extending it.
In order to qualify for a Sponsored Assistance ticket you will need to meet all of the below Criteria:
-
Facing financial constraints that would make attending 44CON prohibitively expensive
-
Not yet in, but ready and actively looking to move into cybersecurity roles
-
Based in the UK
An Assistance Ticket includes:
-
Full 44CON 2023 conference ticket (13th-15th September)
-
Two nights accommodation at the Novotel London West checking in on Wednesday 13th September
-
Breakfast and Lunch on Thursday and Friday
-
One t-shirt
-
Priority checking at 16:00 on Wednesday 13th September
Sponsors
We are delighted that BT are sponsoring us again in 2023. They are our Diamond sponsor and are also sponsoring one Assistance ticket.
We are pleased to announce that Trail of Bits are sponsoring 44CON for the first time.
We are really excited that Graylog are also sponsoring for the first time and are running a CTF.
Huge thanks for the organisations supporting us.
We still have some space for sponsors - if you’d like to be part of 44CON 2023 please get in touch.
44CON 2023 Wednesday Community Evening
The 44CON community evening on Wednesday 13th September is back again this year and it’s FREE to attend. There will be talks and a Serious Game Taster - Introduction to Threat Condition.
Registration is now open. (It’s included in the standard ticket, do not register if you have one or intend to get one)
Thursday Evening
The background to Thursday evening is that every year we select backup speakers. Last year, because of life, all the backup speakers got to speak. This year we are doing something different. We will have a fun talk followed by a kickass threat intelligence talk on the Hermit Kingdom, and then hopefully two more talks assuming too much life hasn’t happened to the other speakers we have selected. We will announce the talks next week. The backup talks will be announced at 44CON after all the speakers have arrived safely at the conference (last year we had missed flights; failure to get a visa; ‘crisis’; something happened to a dog…)
Alongside the talks Threat Condition 2.0 will be running with 100 seats. This is up from last year but you will need to pick up a wristband once at the conference.
