I am a newbie / n00b can I attend?
Yes, of course, ROOTCON is a very diverse environment, old and young, elite and n00bs. We are here to gather and learn from each other.

What do I need to bring, do I need to bring laptop?
It depends how you are participating at conference, if you will be playing CTF yes you will need a laptop. If you are a lurker, meeting friends (old and new) or just listening to the talks, you probably won't need one.

Is the badge electronic this year?
It's part of the element of ROOTCON surprise. We do not disclose our badge type, however we recommend you to sign-up early for you to get the official RC17 badge.

Do you offer virtual this year?
No, we do not offer virtual registration this year.

Do you sell swags on-site?
Yes we do, however sizes might be very limited, so we suggest you buy online via our official Lazada shop.

Covid-19 cases is easing-up but we are not out of the woods yet, we changed the wearing of masks from required to recommended, for the safety of our con-goers we highly recommend that you still wear your mask.
