REcon is a computer security conference with a focus on reverse engineering and advanced exploitation techniques. It has been held annually in Montreal, Canada, for 10 years.

We are pleased to announce that after 10 great years of hosting the conference in Montreal, we are expanding to share the REcon experience with Europe as well. This January we will host our first European annual edition of the conference in Brussels, Belgium!

To get a feel for what the conference is all about, you can see videos of presentations from REcon Montreal 2016 on our website at https://recon.cx/

The conference offers a single track of presentations over the span of three days along with technical training sessions held before the presentation dates. Technical training varies in length between two and four days.

Attendees help define the event. They have always been and always will be those looking to learn something new, share ideas, and unwind in a welcoming environment. The registration for the conference will open soon.

We are now inviting speakers to submit proposals for Recon Brussels 2017 year’s talks. Some guidelines for talks are:

30 or 60 minute presentations
We are open to proposals for workshops that would occur alongside talks
There will be time for five to ten minute informal lightning talks during the REcon party

Registration for training is also now open. This year we have another great set of training’s available:

Mobile and Telecom Applied Hacking and Reverse Engineering by Philippe Langlois (2 days: 25-26 January)
Reverse Engineering Malware by Nicolas Brulez (4 days: 23-26 January)
Windows Internals for Reverse Engineers by Alex Ionescu (4 days: 23-26 January)
Hardware Hacking (Advanced) by Dmitry Nedospasov (4 days: 23-26 January)
The ARM Exploit Laboratory by Saumil Shah (4 days: 23-26 January)
Windows Kernel Rootkits Techniques and Analysis by Bruce Dang (4 days: 23-26 January)
MacOS Sierra and iOS 10 Kernel Internals for Security Researchers (4 days: 23-26 January)
