About CHCon

CHCon is a conference for security professionals and hackers in Christchurch, NZ. Training will be run on Thursday 29th October, and presentations on Friday 30th and Saturday 31st. A CTF will be run across both days of the main event that will include cyber, physical and electronic challenges across a wide variety of skill levels. This year has some really neat challenges that you won’t want to miss!

All official conference events will be held at The Christchurch Arts Centre at 2 Worcester Blvd, Christchurch Central. Be sure to email us if there’s something in particular you’d like to see happen at the con!

The event is being coordinated by a collaboration of people from the local ISIG and Women in Tech groups. These are two information security and technology groups that meet regularly in Christchurch.
