SAINTCON Utahs Premiere Cybersecurity Conference 2026

The conference is at the Utah Valley Convention Center in Provo, Utah.

The stated audience includes practitioners and researchers.

It is most useful for hands-on practitioners and researchers who like community-run events, since the format pairs a Monday of trainings with days of talks, contests and communities, and the speaker list mixes handles like cktricky and BlueBanditos with named researchers such as Aamir Lakhani. Executives looking for a buyer-focused, vendor-heavy show would get less here, since the event is run by UtahSAINT and leans on volunteers and contests.

Attendees at hacker-style security conferences usually wear jeans, t-shirts and hoodies, often with conference swag or hacker-culture shirts. Provo in late October can be cool, so a hoodie or jacket helps in a large convention center.
