OFFZONE is an international conference on practical cybersecurity. It brings together security specialists, developers, engineers, researchers, lecturers, and students from Russia and abroad.
Participants share their knowledge and experience: they deliver presentations and attend workshops. The conference focuses exceptionally on technical content.
There are also loads of fun activities to clear your head and relax. You can even get a tattoo if you decide to capture the event in eternity
OFFZONE is primarily designed for techies who want to upskill, exchange experiences, and talk to legendary experts in an informal setting.
The conference will also be of interest to companies looking for ways to recruit top talent, organize marketing activities, or present cybersecurity solutions
In 2023, more than 2,500 people attended the event. The two days were rich in content: 108 speakers covered 89 topics, including fraud prevention, unusual attacks, best practices in mobile DevSecOps, and more.
The conference had sections dedicated to applications (AppSec.Zone), financial systems (AntiFraud.Zone), and hacker tips and tricks (CTF.Zone). Craft.Zone was all about customizing badges with funky add-ons, while Tattoo.Zone offered tattoos from professional artists.
In addition to the main program, conference partners had their own promo stands with contests and workshops. The organizers shared the results from the BI.ZONE Bug Bounty platform for the year.
