Location: Kaufleuten Zürich, Switzerland
We are delighted to announce the dates for the Area41 conference 2022.
After long discussions with our venue provider and the committee we have decided to conduct it June 16.-17. 2022.
Established in 2010 under the original name hashdays, Area41 is Switzerland's most well-known technical information security conference. Every two years, international speakers present cutting-edge research from a variety of fields, ranging from software vulnerabilities and malware research to threat hunting and offensive security practices. Area41 attracts a diverse crowd of information security professionals, technical managers, as well as students and enthusiasts interested in the field.
Area41 actively curates a lineup consisting of international speakers as well as promising rising stars. Our talk selection focuses on content first. Our speakers, while compensated for their travel expenses, choose to share their knowledge without further compensation.
Our YouTube channel is here.
Since our first sold out event in 2016, we have chosen to cap Area41 at a 400 attendees maximum to ensure that the atmosphere and the ability to connect with other attendees and speakers alike remains intact. Get your tickets early or you might end up on the waitlist.
Since 2010, Area41 is a community-driven, non-profit event by the Swiss DEF CON group chapter DC4131. It is made possible by the countless hours of volunteers and the sponsors believing in our platform to make great technical content available to everyone.
The Call For Paper (CFP) is now c. We are looking for technical talks in English.

Uncertainty affects all of us in these times. While we were hoping that it would not come to this, after careful deliberation and with deep regrets, we have decided to cancel the Area41 2021 conference due to the still highly volatile situation with regards to Covid-19 and the associated requirements placed on us all as well as the constraints placed on events specifically in Zurich and Switzerland as a whole. Further details here.
Over the years, we had the pleasure to host many great speakers from all over the world. For the 2022 edition, we strive to live up to the expectations we established in previous years by presenting you with the best line up we can muster. The Call for Paper is currently closed, and will open in early 2022. Watch for announcement on this page as well as on the regular channels such as Twitter @A41CON.
We are proud to present Kaufleuten as our 2022 conference location partner.
