REcon is a computer security conference with a focus on reverse engineering and advanced exploitation techniques. It is held annually in Montreal, Canada.

The conference offers a single track of presentations over the span of three days along with technical training sessions held before the presentation dates. Technical training varies in length between two and four days.

REcon 2016 is almost upon us. This year is actually the 10th Recon. It will offer great lineup of trainings, talks from some of the top reversers in the world, and a lot of fun (I mean it’s going to be our 0xA anniversary!). Come and join us for the celebration and help make this year an unforgettable experience!

Attendees help define the event. They have always been–and always will be–those looking to learn something new, share ideas, and unwind in a welcoming environment. With the release of this CFP, we are happy to announce registration is now open.

We are now inviting speakers to submit proposals for this year’s talks. Some guidelines for talks are:

30 or 60 minute presentations

We are open to proposals for workshops that would occur alongside talks

There will be time for five to ten minute informal lightning talks during the REcon party
