About this event
What started as an infosec conference that felt a lot like chatting with a coworker over a beverage, we're going "Back to the Brew" and taking over Forgotten Star Brew Co.
In returning to our roots, we're confident we can maximize comfort and connection—letting the community, conversations, and content that have made Hacks & Hops special for nearly a decade do the shining.
This year, Hacks & Hops will be held on Thursday, October 1, the official kickoff of National Cybersecurity Awareness Month!
Attendees can expect:
A carefully curated lineup of expert speakers and topics
A technical-focused track and a business-focused track
Catered lunch, combined with food, beverages, and brews throughout the day
Networking opportunities with industry-leading cybersecurity experts and recognized leaders
CTF challenges and leaderboards with prizes and giveaways
Unlike previous years at larger venues, WE ARE EXPECTING TO SELL OUT! Don't wait to get your tickets!
We can't wait to bring this event back to you in a way that matches both our mission to fix the industry and the energy of the fantastic community that has joined us stride for stride.
Cheers to H&H2026!
