Alphacon - a cybersecurity conference in Wrocław. Two full days once a year, intimate nano editions every few months.
Alphacon nano
One evening, around a hundred people, five blocks starting at 17:30. A deep-dive talk, a live panel with code on screen, a retro-hardware story and lightning talks from the floor. Knowledge exchange, not a sponsor track.
Alphacon
Two days, full scale, deeply technical. The conference Wrocław has been missing.
We've been circling the idea for a few years. Alphacon nano is the first step towards it - and a way to find out how many people are waiting for the same thing.
// we sit on the program boards of CONFidence and Oh My Hack - we know how these are built from the inside
We're building the Alphacon nano badge ourselves.
