Welcome to the official account of the Open Security Conference (#osco), the people-centred international gathering for everyone interested in cybersecurity.
Osco presents a different concept of security conference - literally from the community, for the community! It offers a platform to ease the learning curve in cybersecurity and provides the opportunity to learn, discuss, and teach.
#osco25 is over. #osco26 awaits!

But boys also have to live with gender roles? There is a Boys'Day with the same goals but different jobs: https://www.boys-day.de/ueber-den-boys-day/was-ist-der-boys-day2/ein-zukunftstag-fuer-jungen/englisch
We firmly believe that everyone has the right to develop freely and pursue their dreams.

Today is a special day again. Today is Girls'Day.
We all are part of a social system, that influences our decisions and beliefs or form gender roles.
Girls'Day encourages the surroundings of young women – i.e. families, school, media and employers – to participate in the campaign and change their common attitudes towards vocational orientation. Today is Girls'Day in Germany but many other countries around the world have campaigns with this goal.

Open Space + Security focused 😍
SoCraTes is a Training day and two days of Open Space - everybody gathering in the same room and creating the schedule for the day.
Whether hands-on, discussions, or the proposal to learn a new topic, our attendees create the agenda and decide what happens.
We're selling our tickets at cost and they include accomodation and meals. First lottery draw on May 1st! Sign up today at www.socrates-conference.de
Be prepared to be surprised 🥳 #socrates26
Today is #EarthDay. No matter our differences, there's one thing we all share: Earth is our home. As so many works of fiction and the daily news tell us: We better take good care of our planet.
We might not be able to change the whole world at once, and yet we can contribute within our circle of influence to make this a better place for Earth's population - each and every day.

The moment (no, the other one) you have been waiting for is here: the Elbsides 2026 program is online 📣
Tickets for the Conference will be available Monday, April 20th at 11 am. Your can choose between a supporter(business) or a community ticket.
The supporter ticket comes with extra love from us but don't worry, you still get the crew love with the community ticket.
Wenn das dein erster Besuch auf dem SWEC oder einem Open Space ist haben wir für Dich die vier Leitprinzipien zusammengefasst.
Um das meiste aus deinem Besuch herauszuholen, folge am besten dem "Law of Movement" und sei Du selbst indem Du dich auf die Art einbringst wie du Dich wohl fühlst.
