The AusCERT Conference is the longest running information security conference in Australia and a must-attend event for the Infosec community. Each year, we attract in the vicinity of 700 participants and approximately 60 sponsors.
The conference is held on Australia’s beautiful Gold Coast where the weather is fine and warm, even in winter. The conference is a great opportunity to discuss IT security issues, network with industry peers, see the latest in IT security products and services, and enjoy 5-star accommodation, good food, wine and entertainment, and good company.

OzSecCon is the first open community event on physical security in Australia. The conference focus is on both analogue and digital physical security systems and is open to professionals and hobbyists alike. The 2-day event will provide a community space to share expertise on tools and techniques to learn new skills and refine existing ones.
Included are:
Talks, Workshops and a variety of competitions (with prizes!). Our sessions will be open to all attendees, run by industry-leading instructors across a range of topics. Our aim is to cover not only traditional physical security controls (such as locks and safes) but also access control systems (alarm systems and rfid). This will include both networked and rf devices.
We hope that all those attending find the experience both informative, engaging, and importantly, fun.
