Attend in person or online
There are three ways to attend:
- In person at Refugio Berlin (paid on-site ticket required)
- Actively participate online (free virtual ticket required)
- Passively view online (no ticket or registration required)
All three options allow you to watch and listen to the presentations. If you attend in person, you’ll also:
- Get hands-on experience in interactive workshops and design sessions.
- Build cool stuff together in a hackathon.
- Socialize, network, and mingle with like-minded individuals who are passionate about secure computing.
The free virtual tickets are for those who are presenting remotely and for remote attendees who wish to engage in active discussion online during the Summit. If you just want to watch the presentations online, no ticket or registration is required. The streams and recordings will be publicly available, and you can simply view them at your convenience.
Note: Presenters have the option to request that their presentations not be recorded. If a presenter opts out of recording, there will be a “no recording” icon next to that presentation in the conference schedule. Only on-site attendees will be able to view that presentation. It will not be streamed or recorded for later viewing.
Become a presenter
If you’d like to present at the Summit, please submit your proposal by 2026-08-31.

- If your proposal is accepted and you wish to present in person, you’ll be issued an on-site ticket free of charge, no purchase necessary.
- If you select “Don’t record this session” when submitting your proposal, your presentation will not be recorded or streamed. Online attendees will not be able to view it.
