Hackers’ Squad

During 5th edition of CONFidence you have a unique chance to stay at the coolest spot in the city – Hackers’ Squad. It is a place where hacking never stops!

We decided to rent the whole hostel (or even group of hostels if it’s necessary) and turn it into the real hacking space – a place to sleep, to party and to hack - only for CONFidence attendees. While registering you can choose to stay in Hackers’ Squad for 14 EUR/night. It is not only cheap, but also convenient (the Hackers’ Squad is located in a walkable distance from the conference center) way to stay in Krakow during CONFidence.

  • you can stay there from 14 till 17 May
  • the price is 14 EUR per night per person

CONFidence 2009 preparation time!

We’ve just started making the arrangements for the 5th edition of CONFidence.

15-16 May, 2009 is the set date for one of the most important security events in Europe. We don’t claim to be the biggest, we’d rather be one of a kind! CONFidence has always been much more than a conference. If you have any doubts, just take a look here and here.
