Call for presentations is now closed
SnykCon is a free developer conference that brings development and security teams together to build security into the SDLC, solve critical vulnerability issues, and protect their organizations. Your talk should inspire, engage, and activate developers around the world to build securely.
SnykCon talk types
Security flourishes when we collaborate. Come share the lessons you’ve learned with the entire community — your successes, failures, discoveries, and epiphanies.
-
Main Stage (20-30 min)
For a broad audience
These sessions are featured talks that typically have a wider scope. They can offer a broad perspective on the future of the industry, share lessons learned, and provide inspiration for the developer and security audiences.
-
Lightning Talks (5 min)
Bite-size sessions
Structured to provide a quick interlude between longer format sessions, these talks will aim to highlight a quick case study, tangential topic of interest, or something completely different that makes us say, “Wow!”
-
Code & Build (30 min)
Technical sessions, granular deep-dives
For these sessions, we want to hear how you’ve solved tough development challenges, integrated/rolled out security, and handled problems that had a big impact. We encourage deep-dive technical sessions about the work you did.
-
Govern & Empower (30 min)
Case studies, thought leadership on collaborative security
We work together to make security better. Tell us how your team integrated security in the development workflow, how you build a security awareness program, or how you navigated the internal change management needed.
-
Workshops (60/90 min)
Hands-on and in-depth for understanding and analysis
Do you want to run a session that allows attendees to jump in and do the work? Or have attendees participate in a live hack? Run a workshop and share your in-depth understanding and analysis with an audience that’s eager to learn.
-
Demos
Closed to the CFP process
This track will be a mix of Snyk and our tech alliance partner solutions showing off their best features. It’s a great education track for attendees who want to check out new tools, solutions and go deep on a variety of dev and security product integrations and solutions.
