Why should I attend the Security Onion Conference?

We will have several prominent members of the community giving talks about tools and techniques (see full speaker lineup below). This is your chance to meet with other members of the community, talk about what works and what doesn't, and take your skills to the next level.

Please keep in mind that seating is limited, so reserve your seat today! Registration opens August 2 at Noon Eastern Time!



Please note that NO tickets will be sold at the door. All attendees must pre-purchase their tickets.

Through October 8, registered attendees of the Security Onion Conference received a discount code redeemable for a free ticket to BSidesAugusta, another great conference in Augusta, GA, on October 20, 2018. The free tickets are gone now, but it's still a GREAT deal!

Where is the conference being held?

This year's conference is being held at the brand new Georgia Cyber Center, which opened in July, 2018!

The address is:

Hull-McKnight Building

Plug ‘n’ Play Room (Auditorium)

100 Grace Hopper Lane

Augusta, Georgia

CORRECTED Google Maps of Georgia Cyber Center: https://goo.gl/maps/tvtuC2myTMM2

The adjacent parking deck and second building are still under construction! So, you'll need to park at the Reynolds Street Parking Deck, which is at the intersection of James Brown Blvd, about two blocks from the Georgia Cyber Center. Parking at that deck (and only that deck) is free for attendees. Just bring the parking ticket with you to the conference.

Is there a preferred hotel?

The DoubleTree by Hilton Hotel Augusta offerred a special rate for conference and training attendees for the nights of October 14 - 20, but the rate expired September 23. You can still use your favorite search engine to book the hotel.
