GHI Con 2026 | Call for Speakers

GHI Con is the Ginger Hacker Initiative's 1st annual digital conference dedicated to breaking down barriers in cybersecurity education and career development. On December 12, 2026, we're bringing together students, veterans, career-changers, and seasoned professionals for a full day of talks, workshops, and community connection all online and free to attend.

We're looking for speakers who are passionate about making cybersecurity accessible. Whether you're a SOC analyst sharing hard-won lessons, a pentester walking through a real-world scenario, a GRC pro demystifying compliance, or someone who recently broke into the field and wants to tell that story we want to hear from you.
