It will be a one day event, on Saturday, June 1, 2024, in the recently-renovated Science Hall on the campus of Canisius College in Buffalo, NY. Our goal is simple – to bring together technical students, hobbyists, and practitioners from across the area for a day of learning, networking, and professional development. This event will be an open and welcoming space for everyone from experienced CISOs and engineers with years of experience to new students and graduates looking to meet companies and leaders in the local information security community. Please note: This is a live event. Priority will be given to speakers who are able to present to the audience in-person on June 1. There are four tracks to which you may submit your talk: General - This is the track for typical technical or security-related talks. Sessions are fifty minutes long, including Q&A at the end. If your talk doesn't fit in any of the other categories it should go in General. Lightning Talk - These are shorter talks on technical or security topics. Twenty minutes, including Q&A. If you're interested in presenting on a niche or specific topic, or if you're a first-time speaker getting your feet wet, this might be a good fit for your submission. Hacking is Art - This track is for people working at the intersection of technology and art, making cool stuff with free, open source, or repurposed resources. Past topics have included 3d printing, open source graphics software, and using technology to aid in academic research. Sessions are fifty minutes long, including Q&A at the end. Introsec - This track is new this year; we get a lot of attendees who are new to the field or considering making a career change, and they could use some instruction in the fundamentals. If you have a talk on how to get started in CTFs, or how to build a home lab, or how to get started with learning cloud security, this would be the place to put it. Sessions are fifty minutes long, including Q&A at the end. Speakers will need to bring their own laptops or devices from which to project slides or demonstrations; projectors, slides, and HDMI hookups / AV support will be provided. | ||||

The capital of Hungary is situated along the Danube, in the heart of the Carpathian basin. Hilly Buda, which comprises one-third of the city's area is located along the right bank of the Danube surrounded by low mountains. Across the river sprawls flat Pest. The geology of Budapest has played a determining role in the city's life over the course of history. Hot springs breaking through limestone mountains supplying water of 35-76 degrees centigrade gave rise to a flourishing culture of spas in the Roman Age and made Budapest one of the most popular spa cities of Europe. |
