We're running ёprstcon — a community one-day conference
in Moscow on May 26. Open call for anyone whose talk fits
the room — online or offline.
What it is:
- 200-300 attendees, mostly security folks, plus an unusually
curious crowd from adjacent fields
- No sponsors, no VIP, no panel discussions about "the future
of cyber". Pallets instead of seats. Projectors. Microphones.
People.
- Two parallel tracks: technical (research, tooling, demos)
and what we call "the room next door" — culture, music,
science from non-IT fields. Adjacent to the main hall,
same audience, different register.
- Inspired by....
#CCC, we love you.
What we're looking for:
- A 15-40 minute talk, on-site or via livestream
- Topic: original research, honest post-mortems, things you
built and lost sleep over, unusual angles on familiar
- Anything you've wanted to give somewhere but it
didn't fit a "standard" CFP
- Q&A after, moderated by someone in the room
What we offer:
- A live, attentive audience that won't scroll Instagram
during your talk
- The recording stays yours. We publish it on our channel
with full credit and a link to whatever you want.
- A community that engages afterward — not business cards,
but real conversations on Telegram and email.
What we don't offer:
- Honoraria. No sponsors, no money, and no power to stop us now.
- Travel logistics.
- Marketing reach.
If you have a talk that's been sitting in your drawer because
it doesn't fit the usual conference format, this might be
its room.
Soft deadline: May 18. Submission — title,
abstract (whatever length), preferred slot.
