Greetz to all h4x0rs, stuff-breakers, InfoSec pros, g33k girls, international spies, phreaks, and script kidz,

cackalackycon will occur on May 15-17, 2026 in RTP, North Carolina. We are now officially accepting speaker/paper/demo submissions for the event.

If you are somewhat knowledgeable in any interesting field of hacking, technology, robotics, science, global thermonuclear war, lock circumvention, etc. (but mostly hacking), and you are interested in presenting at cackalackycon, we cordially invite you to submit your proposal. Got something cool that fits better in one of our Villages than on the main track — consider submitting it as a Village talk.

We value diversity so please don't hesitate to propose your ideas no matter how outlandish (following the Code of Conduct).

If you are selected to present at the conference, you will receive:

- (1) speaker-colored electronic badge and free admission

- (1) paper badge admission for a guest (Note: Guests that wish to have an electronic badge will need to purchase a ticket.)

- Unlimited fist bumps from our staff

- The love and adoration of all the world's hackers

- Other swag
