The big picture
People have always had their way of seeing the world. But influenced by the twin prisms of doubt and striving for perfection, our way of seeing has changed time and again. Where would we be without a critical mind? And, more importantly, what can we achieve with it?
We invite you to join us and break the constant by questioning the concepts relevant now at the dawn of a new technological age. Breaking the constant is humanity's opportunity to create a better future and consciously forge its own path.

Reviews
Bruce Schneier
The Chief Technology Officer of IBM Resilient, a fellow at Harvard's Berkman Center, and a board member of EFFWe have been organizing security conferences for more than ten years. The major part of them are boring corporate events. However, this conference is something completely different. It not only inspires, it is very practical and quite counter-cultural.

OpenBeaconPHDays has been very impressive. It's a combination of being very well organized and having a lot of great content. The location is also fantastic.
Hacking challenges
The venue will be filled with contests: hack an ATM, smart home, surveillance cameras, IoT devices, smart cars, and much more. At the center of the forum is The Standoff, a 30-hour cyberbattle between teams of attackers, defenders, and security operations centers (SOCs).
