Blue Team Con is an annual cybersecurity conference built for defenders, inclusive of anyone interested in safeguarding organizations. | Stay Tuned on 2027!
Wow. What an incredible 4 days. We'd like to extend a huge thank you to our presenters, trainers, volunteers, sponsors, those working behind the scenes, and most importantly - our attendees. Thanks for making Blue Team Con 2026 possible! We can't wait to see you again next year.
It's lunch time again, and we've got another new food truck for you today - alongside El Azteca, Nick's Wood Fired Pizza will be rolling up to feed us. Go see what they're serving!
Have you dropped by the IoT village yet? You're aware that every connected device presents a new threat, so learn more about how you can get ahead of them before it becomes an issue!
Feeling tense? Get a professional massage in the wellness village starting at 10am. Massages are first come, first served, so get there early and make sure you're on the list!
Make the most of the second and last day of Blue Team Con 2026 - download the official app to info on all of the events and activities for the day. Download here:

iOS: apps.apple.com/us/app/blue-t…
Interested in learning more about Linux? Want to revive an old laptop that can't handle the heavy OS that came with it? Drop into the Linux village and see how you can breathe new life into old gear, or just learn a new skill.
Not into the party scene? That's cool too! Come unwind tonight in talk track 3 at 9pm with some board games - no Cones of Dunshire (or alcohol) allowed, we promise.
Let's dance! Tunes at tonight's party will be provided by DJ Shonar, a fellow hacker and a fantastic DJ. Come unwind in talk track 1 at 9pm and maybe tear up the dance floor a bit!
Have you visited our sponsors this year? Get your card stamped at all of them and be entered to win some awesome prizes [like a Nintendo Switch, a Bluetooth speaker, and more]!
Stomach rumbling? We've brought in some new lunch options this year - today we'll have Mexican and BBQ food trucks visiting outside. Go check them out!
Feeling spry? Join Matt Abahazi and the Mental Health Hackers team for their second annual 9 Bridge Challenge! Meet up tomorrow (the 13th) outside of the hotel lobby at 8am - soles hit the ground at 8:15am. Walkers, joggers, and runners are welcome!
If you slept on our training sessions this year, you really missed out! From teaching new business cyberdefense tactics, to roundtable discussions with experienced CISOs, this year's trainings were top notch. Make sure to consider next year's sessions - you won't regret it.
