Connect

The room matters as much as the programme

Students, practitioners, institutions and companies too often engage in fragmented spaces. NESTCON is the shared platform where those groups meet, collaborate, recruit, showcase and learn from one another.

Networking & community build

How NESTCON builds relationships

NESTCON will serve as a relationship-building platform through:

  • Mentor meetups

  • Recruiter and talent interaction

  • Student-to-professional networking

  • Founder-security clinics

  • Informal mixers and community gatherings

Get involved

Three ways to be more than an attendee

  • Cyber clubs & student societies

    Bring your club to NESTCON. Group participation in the student CTF category, and a route to connect with clubs from other campuses.

    Register your club

  • Mentors & practitioners

    Mentor meetups pair experienced practitioners with people early in their careers. If you'd give an hour, we'll fill it.

    Volunteer as a mentor

  • Recruiters & employers

    Career and recruitment corners on the exhibition floor, plus direct talent interaction across all three days.
