Suggested angles
CYBR.HAK.CON's lineup of Jason Haddix and Dustin Dykes signals a conference focused on practical offensive security research—an opportunity to present findings on real-world vulnerability discovery or bug bounty methodology that resonates with hands-on practitioners rather than enterprise audiences.
The inclusion of Tim Medin and Justin Hutchens alongside the keynotes suggests this conference values both attack and defense perspectives—ideal for submitting work that bridges offensive techniques with defensive applications or demonstrates how red team approaches inform blue team strategies.
As a May 2026 conference in Plano with open call for papers, this is a venue for timely research that can be presented within the next 18 months—allowing speakers to propose work currently in progress on emerging attack vectors or defensive tools that will be relevant to the hacker community by spring 2026.
Pitch a paper submission that addresses practical vulnerability research or hands-on security techniques that would appeal to the conference's focus on active exploitation and defense tactics.
