The clock has started ticking. The CFP is open, sponsors are signing agreements, plans made in the last few months are being actioned.
We’d like to thank everyone for their support in a difficult 2023!
First, tickets.
Early Bird tickets
The Early Bird tickets will go on sale later this week. Keep an eye out for the announcement!
Second, we know you all love picking locks at 44CON.
Lock-pick Village
We’re excited to tell you that it is expanding and will have its own learning zone.
Kai of KSEC will again be bringing his huge box of exciting things and Justin Wynn (one of the most popular speakers of 2023!) of Coalfire will be presenting throughout the event in the Lock-pick Village.
With over 200 locks to test it’s going to be the best Lock-pick Village ever at 44CON!
Third, Training
Training
Why do we offer training? Training revenue helps offset the huge cost of the conference. We have selected some great training courses to run in person just before 44CON in September. We also have a couple of online courses running next month.
- Did you go to the John Mac workshop last year? His workshop in 2023 was very popular. John is back and has a great course. Learn the skill of patch diffing the John Mc(Intosh) way -> Patch Diffing In The Dark with John McIntosh on 16–18 September 2024
- Do you want to learn the skills needed to test and protect 5G networks effectively from Dr. 5G himself. You need to know this -> Attacking and defending 5G cores with Altaf Shaik on 17–18 September 2024
- You know how to fuzz, but want to make it better? faster? more efficient? Want to advance your fuzzing knowledge? -> Deep dive into fuzzing with Dhiraj Mishra and Zubin Devnani on 17–18 September 2024
- In 2019 Leszek Miś gave a great course on and filled the room. He’s back with a new course “Practical Linux Attack Paths and Hunting for Red and Blue Team”– it will be in the 44CON shop shortly
These are all new courses for 44CON. We are very excited about them.
The online courses with Dawid Czagan have been run before and have been popular:
- Full-Stack Pentesting Laboratory: 100% Hands-On + Lifetime LAB Access (May 2024) on 6–8 May 2024
- Black Belt Pentesting / Bug Hunting Millionaire: Mastering Web Attacks with Full-Stack Exploitation (100% Hands-On, Virtual) (May 24) on 13–14 May 2024
As usual, courses will be cancelled if minimum numbers are not reached so book early to avoid disappointment.
Sponsors
We are really delighted to announce two new sponsors to 44CON: Flare.io and Labrinth.tech. They both have great stories to tell. Visit them at their stands in September.
We are looking for more sponsors, please do let us know if you want our 44CON 2024 Sponsor pack.
The next update will have news on how to register your team for 44CON Hacker Jeopardy.
We look forward to seeing many of you at 44CON 2024!
