Hacktivity is the leading hacking conference in Hungary. Hacktivity brings
together representatives of the information security fields. We share
knowledge in informal, educational, and highly technical forms.

We accept the following formats of submission: either a conference, or a

Business as usual. The Hacktivity programm commitee will evaluate
submission from a wide spectrum of IT security topics.

We will favor technical submissions and those with demos.

Please write your slide-deck in English. Your speech can be in English
(favored) or Hungarian. For speakers only speaking Hungarian, a
professional translator will on the fly translate it to English.

As a speaker you can have either a 20-minutes or 40-minutes slot to present
your topic.
