ShmooCon is an American hacker convention organized by The Shmoo Group. There are typically 40 different talks and presentations on a variety of subjects related to computer security and cyberculture. Multiple events are held at the convention related to cryptography and computer security such as Shmooganography, Hack Fortress, a locksport village hosted by TOOOL DC, and Ghost in the Shellcode. ShmooCon 2021 was not held in January due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
From 2005 to 2010, ShmooCon was held at the Marriott Wardman Park in Washington, D.C.
ShmooCon VII and VII (2011–2012) were held at the Washington Hilton in Washington, D.C.
ShmooCon IX was held at the Hyatt Regency Washington in Washington, D.C.
ShmooCon X and later returned to the Washington Hilton in Washington, D.C.
ShmooCon seeks to select talks that are original research and have not been presented at other conventions.
Every year ShmooCon supports multiple charities, such as the Electronic Frontier Foundation and Hackers for Charity, by sponsoring T-shirt sales. Attendees are provided the opportunity to donate a fixed amount of money for a charity in exchange for a T-shirt.
ShmooCon also has a long-standing program, Shmooze-A-Student, where attendees can opt to cover an undergraduate college student's ticket fee and stipend when purchasing their own ticket. [7] [8]
