(Note: Training submissions are closed now).


To Submit a Talk:

Topics of interest include (but are not limited to), within the Apple security ecosystem:

ℹ️   Note:

We’ll be running WeTalks a mentorship program from Objective-We for first-time #OBTS speakers.

Have an idea, tool, or blog post but unsure how to turn it into a talk? WeTalks helps new speakers refine their presentations and build confidence on stage through 1:1 mentorship, group sessions, and personalized feedback from experienced macOS & iOS security researchers.

To join, submit a talk via the normal CFP talk form, and select "I’d like to participate in the WeTalks program."

We are excited to hear new voices at #OBTS, this is a great chance to take the stage!
