SuriCon is an annual open source technology community conference that highlights discussions and developments relative to Suricata, the powerful intrusion detection and prevention tool.

Throughout the span of three days, we showcase speakers from around the globe who provide their expertise and insight into how best to maximize the application of Suricata’s technology. Attendees have the opportunity to network with sponsors, discuss new applications and knowledge during poster sessions, & mingle freely in a more relaxed environment than the usual virtual space Suricata users often occupy.

We also host an add-on option for advanced hands-on training sessions which take place throughout the two days prior to the general sessions. These are led by Suricata developers.

SuriCon’s Photo Policy

At SuriCon, we prioritize attendee privacy while fostering an open environment for sharing ideas and experiences. The OISF team and authorized media personnel may document the event for promotional purposes, including social media and Suricata project updates. To maintain a respectful atmosphere, we ask that all participants — including the OISF team, media personnel, and attendees — adhere to the following guidelines:

• Focus on Presenters: Photographs and recordings should primarily feature presenters, speakers, and panelists.
• Audience Shots: When capturing audience images, take photos from behind to avoid identifying individuals without their consent.
• Obtain Consent: Seek permission before photographing or recording any individual, including those in the background.
• Handling Unintentional Captures: If someone was inadvertently captured without permission, we will delete the photo or video upon request, and we ask attendees to do the same.
• Respecting Privacy Requests: If you prefer not to be photographed or recorded, please inform a member of the OISF team or an official photographer, and we will honor this request.

We may also receive photos from community members for use in our promotions and post-event archives, and we will ensure these contributions align with the above guidelines to the best of our ability.

By following these guidelines, we create a respectful and comfortable environment for all SuriCon participants. Thank you for helping make SuriCon a positive experience for everyone.
