Summercon is one of the oldest hacker conventions, and the longest running such conference in America. It helped set a precedent for more modern “cons” such as H.O.P.E. and DEF CON, although it has remained smaller and more personal. Summercon has been hosted in cities such as Pittsburgh, St. Louis, Atlanta, New York, Washington, D.C., Austin, Las Vegas, and Amsterdam.

- CFP Now Open 2025
It is once again time to submit your proposals for Summercon presentations.
We admit that we have a lot of latitude in how we schedule speakers, but generally presentations fall into two categories: short (25 minutes), and long (55 minutes).
We tend to favor technical presentations that are geared around offense, but we’re open to all good ideas. Please build in time for spirited Q&A.
We invite you to review what we look for when selecting a presentation here, but here’s the quick summary:
- Technical
- Novel
- Irreverent
- Revels in the Journey
- Sticks it to the Man
- Engages the Audience
- Fits into the Allocated Time
Please submit your proposals using our Google Form.
Deadline: Saturday, May 17, 2025 11:59PM (EDT, because we’re in New York)
- Trouble is brewing
We’re excited to announce that we’re gearing up for our July event in Brooklyn, NY. We’re currently huddled over keyboards (and coffee mugs) planning something extraordinary. Yes, we’re a bit late in getting the news out – blame all the booze (and the hangovers)!
More thrilling updates are on the way. Stay tuned, keep hacking, and perhaps, keep nursing those hangovers – we’ll make sure this year’s Summercon is worth the wait!
Cheers,
Summercon Management
