Hands-on, technical, by hackers for hackersLocally, in Wrocław. Red teaming, blue teaming, threat hunting. Just the substance: hands-on practice, knowledge sharing, networking.
// boot it, find what was stolen from node STAR, where it went, who did it
Technical, concrete, valuable and inspiring talks. In-depth conversations, panel discussions, protips, and a dash of retro.
Trade experience with people from right inside red team, blue team and threat hunting work.
We get together to learn from each other — from our wins and our f**kups.
Let's meet in Wrocław, the heart of Lower Silesia, and swap experiences in a good atmosphere about what a proper offensive can and should look like, and how to get ready for one. Together, let's build a trusted environment that raises the security level of the institutions, companies and community around us.
Let's do this together.
Tentative — order and timing may still shift. The "Hack it yourself" block depends on you.
Welcome, plan for the evening, guest announcements.
A technical talk from an invited guest.
A panel and conversation with invited guests.
A short talk with fun stories about retro hardware.
Short (2, 5, max 10 minutes) talks from volunteers — what cool thing they built, what tool they learned, what neat things you can pull off.
A text adventure, a hack-me, prizes up for grabs. A phone is enough, though a laptop or your own VT100 makes it comfier. Wraps up with an official close and an invite to the unofficial part.
The triangle is Alphacon's logo cut from laminate. Inside sits an ESP32-C6, so Wi-Fi, Bluetooth and Zigbee all at once, with a 128×64 OLED on the front and six buttons. The userport is broken out on top — plug in your own module and the badge does whatever you tell it. ALPHAbadge is the younger sibling of CONFibadge — the badge of Kraków's CONFidence came from the same hands.
Sooner or later every one of these names will show up on Alphacon's stage. We've talked to each of them, and each has officially said they'd be glad to share their experience with our audience. Who's speaking on 8 October — we'll announce once the lineup is locked.

// we don't load the map without asking — only once you request it
Admission is free and it's staying that way — thanks to the partners who back this with us.
Want your logo next to the ones above? Let's talk about what you can bring to the table.
Let's talk partnershipWrocław is a beautiful city that's home to a lot of great cybersecurity specialists. So why not meet up here, trade knowledge, inspire and get inspired?
Yes, there's more. For a few years now, a big, two-day, deeply technical IT security conference has been in the works for Wrocław. Yes, it's called Alphacon. If everything goes to plan, the first edition lands in 2027, and satellite events like Alphacon nano are a pretty solid warm-up.
Two days, full scale, deeply technical. The conference Wrocław has been missing.
// we sit on the program committees of CONFidence and Oh My Hack — we know how these conferences get made from the inside
