ShmooCon

ShmooCon was an American hacker convention organized by The Shmoo Group. There were typically 40 different talks and presentations on a variety of subjects related to computer security and cyberculture. Multiple events were held at the convention related to cryptography and computer security such as Shmooganography, Hack Fortress, a locksport village hosted by TOOOL DC, and Ghost in the Shellcode.

Each conference venue and date has been included for easy reference.

ShmooCon seeks to select talks that are original research and have not been presented at other conventions.

Every year ShmooCon supported multiple charities, such as the Electronic Frontier Foundation and Hackers for Charity, by sponsoring T-shirt sales. Attendees were provided the opportunity to donate a fixed amount of money for a charity in exchange for a T-shirt. ShmooCon also had a long-standing program, Shmooze-A-Student, where attendees could opt to cover an undergraduate college student's ticket fee and stipend when purchasing their own ticket.
