Participants may choose to attend Security Fest, a community-oriented IT security conference held annually in Gothenburg. It focuses on technical talks, knowledge sharing and professional exchange among security practitioners, researchers and engineers.

The conference provides practical insight into current topics in cybersecurity and offers opportunities for participants to connect with peers from Sweden.

The Call for Papers (CFP) for Security Fest 2026 is open: https://cfp.securityfest.com/2026/

Participation in Security Fest is optional and not included in the mission fee. The organisers will aim to keep additional costs related to optional activities to a minimum, and these will be communicated in advance.
