SummerCon 2016

Summercon is America’s longest-running information security conference, and has shaped the format of virtually every hacker conference that has happened since it first took place back in 1987. If you’ve been to DEF CON, H.O.P.E., or any of a million other security events that include “-con” in its name, you’ve participated in the legacy of Summercon.

SummerCon started as a small, invite-only get-together thrown every summer by Phrack. It is the oldest of the annual computer security conferences. Though it is no longer invite-only, we strive to keep Summercon smaller and more personal. It travels around a bit, and has been hosted by cities such as New York; Pittsburgh; St. Louis; Atlanta; Washington, D.C.; Austin; and Amsterdam.
