  Welcome to ChiBrrCon VI, 2026

  

  ChiBrrCon is Chicago’s premier vendor-free, practitioner-driven, nonprofit security conference where community, creativity, and technical excellence come together. Born from the icy winds of the Midwest winter, ChiBrrCon delivers high-quality technical talks, interactive villages, and engaging leadership discussions—all without vendor sales pitches.

  Ready to Speak?  Click Here!

  ChiBrrCon  is a privately funded, not-for-profit, charitable organization established for information security and technology focused individuals. Building on years of hosting in-house conferences to help address tight corporate training budgets, ChiBrrCon was founded by corporate information security leaders and sponsored by their respective organizations in 2020.

  The mission and vision of ChiBrrCon are the same as the ones our founders set with their own in-house programs; to provide attendees with high quality training, an opportunity to present to a safe audience, and an opportunity to meet peers with like interests.

  ChiBrrCon is hosted and taught by information security and technology professionals from the Chicagoland Area with special guest speakers from around the world.
