About
t2 infosec conference provides the audience a curated agenda filled with presentations arising from original research by seasoned professionals. The focus is on high quality research and technical excellence – the goal for the presentation lineup is to be competitive on a global level.
The topics cover everything from advanced vulnerability research and exploit development to offensive techniques requiring no vulnerabilities, defensive strategies and securing the enterprise, lessons learned from responding to security issues, hardware security or development, cyberwarfare, cheating in online games or anything else piquing the interest of aspiring or aspirational hackers.
The presentations provide a backdrop for networking and community building. Coffee and lunch breaks, evening activities and pre-conference lobby bar meetups have all been planned to maximize the opportunities to meet old friends and make new connections. Many participate year after year, sometimes as speakers, other times as attendees. As a community event, the emphasis is on friendly atmosphere and good times for everyone.
The event is international by nature – all presentations and official communications are in English, and each year about third of all attendees come from abroad.
Typically the event is sold out approximately a month before showtime. Longtime attendees register immediately when CFP is published and registration is opened.
