Talks (In-Person)

We're looking for presentations on breaking various systems & technologies, as well as other relevant cybersecurity topics. We accept papers that have already been presented at other events, although we highly value new, bold, and original submissions. Presentations should last between 30 to 40 minutes, with 10 minutes for Q&A afterwards. There won't be internet access, so any technical demos should be pre-recorded.

Although our focus is on offensive security, we also welcome presentations on other relevant security topics.

We don't accept commercial presentations.

Workshops (In-Person)

Workshops offer hands-on training on a specific topic. They can last up to 2 hours, with space for up to 20 attendees. It is recommended to plan the workshop with minimal to no internet use during the session, and to preferably share the resources participants will need so they can download them prior to the event.

Pueblitos Mágicos [aka Villages] (In-Person)

Pueblitos Mágicos are interactive spaces where attendees can explore specific topics in a hands-on environment. They provide opportunities for learning and experimenting. They can include specialized equipment, challenges, or demonstrations related to various aspects of hacking and cybersecurity.

Pueblitos are expected to run the whole day. We do not provide a stage for each Pueblito, but we give you your own space and basic materials like audio, video, chairs, and tables to set it up. If you need anything specific, please let us know.

Villages' teams are limited to 6 persons and you must include the name of all the team members in your application.

Activities (In-Person)

We're looking for social, fun, random, and original activities that don't fit into the above categories. These can take place during HackGDL or after, during the party. Please, specify how many total and/or simultaneous participants you'll be able to handle.
