Securi-Tay 2026

It's Time!

Europe's largest student-run conference is almost here. Held at Abertay University, the Abertay Ethical Hacking Society presents the 14th Edition of Securi-Tay with a bigger event than ever before! Building on last year's record breaking attendance of over 450 attendees, this year's event will take place on the 27th February 2026 with an upgraded capacity to 500 attendees.

Included in every ticket, this year's event will offer:

• Breakfast
• Lunch
• Refreshments throughout the day
• Swag Bags (T-shirt, programme, stickets, and other Securi-Tay-branded goodies)
• Networking opportunities with our sponsors and other industry professionals

Each swag bag will contain:

• An attendee T-Shirt
• Branded Notebook & pen
• Branded Conference Program
• Branded Stickers
• Branded Pint Glass
• More to be announced

We will once again be hosting our famous after party! Spaces for this are limited, so anyone wishing to attend the after party should purchase a general admission ticket that allows access (at no extra charge). For those that attend the after party, a buffet will be provided along with our infamous bar tab!

The conference will also host a merchandise stand, for those wishing to purchase any souvenirs to remember the day! This would also be a great opportunity for any returning grads to pick up some more Hacksoc threads!

Throughout the day, speakers from across the industry will be presenting fascinating talks, with three speaker tracks available at the conference. Speakers will be a mixture of seasoned professionals, and up and coming prodigies trying to break into the industry!

In addition to the fantastic talks, different workshops will be available on the day for those seeking a more practical experience!

Tickets will be available in two drops - the first ticket drop will last until early January, with the second drop yet to be announced - so if you miss out on the first drop, don't panic, watch this space!

CTF

This year, our annual CTF will take place 2 days before the start of conference to allow all attendees to make the most of the Securi-Tay experience. Prizes will be given out to the top scoring individuals as normal at the end of conference. Please note, CTF competitors must be in attendance to recieve their prize.
