Deadpool knows! Charleston Zero Day isn't just a security conference but a place where everyone is encouraged to come learn how to protect yourself and others online.

We are still looking for a few speakers so please contact this page or Lee Ayers to submit a talk. Your knowledge could help prevent cybercrime and plus it's cool to stand up in front of people and have them listen.

*** CRITICAL VULNERABILITY DETECTED ***

Our Schedule Has Empty Slots

We’ve discovered a zero-day vulnerability in the Charleston Zero Day conference schedule, a lack of your voice. The CVSS score is 10.0, and the only known patch is you submitting a talk.
Whether you’re deploying your first "Hello World" or you dream in assembly, we have a spot for you.

We are looking for submissions for our two distinct tracks:

Track 1 (Beginner/Intermediate): For those helping us understand why password123 is still a bad idea.

Track 2 (Advanced/Professional): For the wizards who know how to break out of the sandbox and ghost the logs.

Don’t leave our schedule unpatched. Execute the payload (submit your paper) at the link below.
