What: DEF CON Bahrain Call For Demo Labs
When: November 5-6, 2025
How: Complete this DEF CON Bahrain Call For Demo Labs submission form.
Deadline: Sunday, October 5, 2025, at 11:59PM PT
DEF CON invites security researchers, defenders, and innovators from across the region to join us in building stronger defenses.
Demo Labs is a dedicated space for defenders to showcase open-source projects, tools, and techniques designed to strengthen cybersecurity resilience. This format is intentionally more interactive than a traditional talk, creating an environment where participants can engage directly with regional and global security professionals, exchange knowledge, and receive real-time feedback and community contributions to their work. Whether your project is mature or a prototype still in development, we welcome all open-source submissions that contribute to advancing defensive security practices across the following Blue Team domains:
Presenters can choose between two 45-minute sessions or two 90-minute sessions to demonstrate their project. Each presenter is provided with two sessions as an opportunity to showcase their project twice, each time to a new audience.
