Second Annual SuriCon in Washington, DC — 3 Amazing Days with a Sold-out Crowd!
For the second year developers, users, and business leaders from around the world joined us for SuriCon 2016 in Washington, DC. Thanks to our incredible speakers, our generous sponsors, and all the fantastic attendees it was a great week of training, talks, networking, and community! Below are some highlights, a few photos, and the presentation decks from our amazing speakers.
Thank you! The OISF Team
HIGHLIGHTS…
- This being our first SuriCon in the US, we didn’t know how many people to expect — but registration was sold out at 156 — with over 140 Suricata fans in attendance!
- Over 65 organizations were represented — a great testament to Suricata’s global reach.
- This year we expanded SuriCon to 2.5 days dedicated to talks, and it still wasn’t enough — the community requested extending SuriCon 2017 to 3 full days.
- As a community, we mapped Suricata’s development roadmap for 2017.
- 90% of the total cost of the conference was covered by our sponsors and Suricata training attendees — we couldn’t have done it without you!
- “Best conference ever!” was a common theme we received from participants — many of whom are already planning on attending next year’s conference in Prague.
