We put our heart and soul into this Cybersecurity Conference directory.
Way back in 2013 we had another website called “Concise Courses” which used to market and sell InfoSec training courses. We published a blog post listing all the upcoming InfoSec Conferences of that year, and Google loved the resource and put us right to the top of the search engines. That ‘accidental’ occurrence spawned this directory which is maintained by a small team comprising of Henry Dalziel and Charles Villaneuva and a bunch of freelance programmers.
What We Do:
We list, literally, every single Information Security conference, event and seminar within every niche in Cybersecurity.
We have a dedicated team that maintains our in-house tech stack, directory, and data curation.
