This conference is 100% virtual, not for profit and free to stream. **PancakesCon has a UNIQUE FORMAT. Please read these instructions carefully**: All PancakesCon talks must be 40-45 minutes long. They ****MUST**** consist of two parts: A brief talk about any cybersecurity topic targeted at junior professionals / students, and a brief talk about something which is not IT-related. The non-IT topics can cover anything from hobbies to fitness, cooking to music. Share something you're passionate about aside from computer technology or cybersecurity! Most people gave their talks in two separate halves at previous conferences with a clear transition, but you're welcome to combine the topics if you're feeling really creative! See examples on our YouTube. Example: "Active Directory Enumeration and Ballet Dance" CFP will close on Saturday, August 9, 2025 at 8:30PM US Central Time. CFP Notifications will go out on August 23 from hacks4pancakes at gmail (please make sure you allow this email). While we focus on diversity across all aspects of PancakesCon, our CFP review is blind. Please *do not include your name or any extremely identifying information* in your synopsis or we WILL disqualify you. ----------------------------- *Code of Conduct*: - PancakesCon is intended for a PG-13 audience. Please keep conversations and talks appropriate for young people (e.g. talks about making alcoholic drinks or medieval weapons are fine, but please be mindful of young people in talks and conversations) - PancakesCon talks and chat are moderated, and we have a zero tolerance policy on abuse, hate speech, and harassment. Violators will be removed from PancakesCon platforms and potentially barred from future events. Please contact a moderator in Slack immediately with any concerns.
