Attending


Thinking about attending "Objective by the Sea" version 8.0? We would be beyond stoked if you joined us!

Why wouldn't you?
  • The trainings provide a unique opportunity to expand your knowledge.
  • The speakers are all world-renown experts in the fields of Apple security.
  • The talks are highly relevant, deeply technical, and all focus on Apple security topics.
  • Its an amazing opportunity to meet your peers and interact with the larger community, in sunny Spain!


To Attend:

To attend, simply purchase a ticket and (optionally) book a room at the conference hotel or nearby!

  • Step 1: Procure a Ticket

    100% of ticket sales go to offset conference costs, to our speakers (via a speaker honorarium), and to our student scholarships!

    ℹ️   Notes:

    • The email address used to purchase your ticket is all you need to pick up your badge at the conference.
    • This ticket allows you to attend all conference talks and all conference attendees' events. However, access to trainings must be purchased separately.
    • If your company is a "Friend of Objective-See" there is no cost to attend, though you must still contact us, as registration is still required.


    We’ve received an incredible number of student applications, but can’t fund tickets for everyone. If you’d like to help, you can sponsor a student ticket and give a future Apple security expert the chance to join #OBTS:

  • Step 2: Book A Room

    The conference hotel is currently sold out!

    However, we’ve secured a few extra rooms that cover the full training/conference stay (Oct. 11th – 19th). If these dates work for you, please email us at obts@objective-see.com and we’ll help you reserve a room.

    If those dates don’t match your travel plans, we recommend two great options just a short walk from the venue: Aguas de Ibiza Hotel or Catalonia Royal.

    And just a reminder, all talks will take place at the Palacio de Congresos de Ibiza, which is just a 5-minute walk from these hotels.



ℹ️   Note:
If you are unable to attend in-person, all talks will be freely live-streamed via our YouTube channel.

Frequently Asked Questions:

Q: #OBTS tickets used to be free/cheaper. What happened?
A: To ensure the conference breaks even - and remains sustainable - we now charge a single fixed fee for attendance. 100% of ticket sales go toward covering conference costs, speaker honorariums, and student scholarships.

Unfortunately, the previously offered discounted tickets were often purchased by people simply to secure a spot at the conference (which always sells out), but many of them never actually attended.

ℹ️   Note:

If you are a student you can (and should!) apply for either a full conference scholarship, or a free conference ticket.


Q: What do I need for registration at the in-person event?
A: After purchasing your conference ticket, you'll receive a receipt from Stripe. To pick up your badge at the conference, you'll be asked for email address used for the purchase, which we'll verify. We recommend keeping your Stripe receipt easily accessible, just in case.


Q: Are the conference trainings included in the conference ticket?
A: No. Trainings are separate from the conference, and will require both a separate signup and a separate payment.
Once the trainings have been announced, you'll be able to find all the information (and to signup!) on the trainings page.
