General Information
SAINTCON is Utah’s premiere cybersecurity conference, run annually since 2001 by the UtahSAINT organization, a 501(c)(6) non-profit. Tickets land between $250 and $350 and include the full conference program: talks, training, contests, communities, and events.
The conference is a labor of love. There are no paid staff. The committee, staff, and volunteers who run this thing all do it for the community. Any annual surplus is retained only as needed to help with future conferences.
Registration
Tickets go on sale in waves. When they sell out, we open a waitlist. If you’re on the waitlist and a standby slot opens up, we’ll be in touch. Tickets are transferable within the registration window, and training can be added while seats remain.
For the detailed how-much, when-does-it-open, can-I-transfer-my-ticket questions, see the FAQ.
Sponsorship
Sponsorship slots are limited. We select sponsors to match the conference vibe; we want partners attendees are genuinely glad to see. Application windows and selection criteria go up ahead of each year. Sponsorship questions are covered in the FAQ.
Hackers Challenge & MiniBadges
Two things that are uniquely SAINTCON:
- Hackers Challenge. Our long-running CTF/puzzle game. Open to first-timers and veterans alike.
- MiniBadges. The collectible electronic-circuit-board trading cards of the security conference world. Trade, collect, solder, show off.
