ABOUT THE EVENT

Because life’s too short for ‘meh’, this is your golden ticket to ‘WOW!

Let’s skip the corporate fluff, yeah?
Cybersecurity is serious business we get
that. But who says you can’t tackle big
challenges and have a laugh along the
way? Oh FFS is where innovation meets
practicality, and no one’s pretending
they’ve got all the answers.

Forget the over-engineered slideshows
and awkward “so, what do you do?” small
talk. This is real talk, real solutions, and
real connections with a bit of sass on the
side. Because let’s face it, everyone’s tired
of buzzwords and pitches in disguise.

2025 Theme: Global Threats, Local Resilience

The cyber threat landscape is a mess. It is faster, louder and more unpredictable than ever, and pretending that one size fits all still works is wishful thinking at best.

Global Threats, Local Resilience is about getting real. The threats may be global, but the impact hits close to home. That is why resilience needs to be built where it actually matters. Inside your teams, your systems, your cities and your communities. Not in some ivory tower report, and definitely not copied from a tech blog in Silicon Valley.

This theme digs into what it really takes to stay secure in the chaos. Not theory. Not fluff. Just honest, human, context aware strategies that work in the real world, wherever you happen to be.

The threats are global. The resilience is on us.

Our Vision

Igniting Innovation & Collaboration

Picture this: a no-BS stage where the actual doers
(yes, the people at the coalface) drop wisdom
bombs you won’t find on LinkedIn. We’re here to
spark real conversations, inspire collaboration,
and trigger those “aha!” moments that help
organisations protect their crown jewels. No fluff.
No filler. Just the stuff that works.
