The 44CON 2022 CFP is now open
The Call For Papers for 44CON 2022 is now open. Head over to our CFP System (designed and hosted by the SINCON‘s CFP Crew). We’re interested in receiving submissions for workshops and talks.
The CFP will close on Sunday 7th August at 23:59 hrs UTC.
Submissions for technical and infosec professional presentations & workshops will be accepted. Presentations are 45 minutes long with 5 minutes for Q&A. Workshops are 1-2 hours long including setup/breakdown time.
- A presentation on the main track is in front of a seated audience.
- A workshop is like a mini training course – e.g. a 2 hour walk through Windows Kernel internals and local privilege escalation opportunities.
Talks may be filmed (see below). Workshops are not.
This is NOT a call for training. Training takes place separately, see here for details:

Submissions
Submissions should be sent via the CFP website https://cfp.44con.com/.
In particular, we are looking for original talks of the highest quality in the following (but not exclusive) areas:
- Offensive security talks for the advanced Pentester or Red Teamer
- Defensive talks for SOC analysts, threat hunters or enthusiastic amateur defenders
- Talks on bugs, bug classes, finding and fixing security bugs
- Incident Handling, Forensics and Anti-Forensics
- Virtualisation, Container and Cloud Computing Security
- Cryptography, Cryptocurrencies, Cryptozoology and other Crypto-fu
- Hardware attacks and defence tools, techniques and practices
- Application and Mobile Security
- Networking, Comms, Critical National Infrastructure (CNI)
- Cyberspace, Policing, Law, Interception and Human Rights
Note: this is not an exhaustive list. If you have what you think is a good talk proposal, please submit it through the CFP system.
Priority is generally given to new presentations over those presented elsewhere. If you have a presentation that you have given or will give elsewhere prior to 44CON 2022 in September and wish to submit, please let us know in your submission, and inform us of any changes you intend to make for 44CON 2022.
If your talk or workshop is new, please let us know the details of other conference(s) to which you have or intend to submit through the CFP system.
