The Unlikely Romance: Part 2 - Now What?
We did it!
After 30 years of tireless and largely thankless education, research, blood/sweat/tears, and legal threats, the world is finally starting to understand that hackers can be "locksmiths" and aren't necessarily "burglars". Better still, dogs and cats have found a way to get along and security experts have a seat at the table to help keep businesses their users safe and prosperous. We've slain the dragon, and can now ride off into the sunset... Right?
Not quite. Now that we have the world's attention, what are we going to say? How do we say it? As a community, now what?
This talk goes through the history of how the cybersecurity industry got the place it is today, the opportunity that exists for hackers all around the world, and the things we'll need to figure out in order to take advantage of it to continue to do those crazy things we do and make the world a safer place in the process.

One of the challenges mentioned in my previous post was THE OUTBREAK. Since March 26, we are closely monitoring the Covid19 pandemic situation both locally and internationally, after the ECQ (Enhanced Community Quarantine) has been lifted the number of cases in the Philippines shoots-up, this could be an early warning that we will be going back to ECQ anytime or in between ROOTCON 14 planning.
At this time everything is just so uncertain, it makes planning very difficult. Travel restriction could vary from one country to another, hotels and bars are still closed or only caters a specific number of people. Furthermore we don't want to risk the health safety of our crew, speakers, sponsors, and attendees.
Like most other hacking conferences, ROOTCON 14 will be entering Recovery Mode, you may call it a Limited Edition as this is the first time in the history of ROOTCON that we will be hosting the full event virtually. We are looking forward to seeing everyone.
Stay tuned for more ROOTCON Recovery Mode announcements. In the mean time Call for Papers and Call For Sponsors are still on-going.
All the best,
