MinuteCon 2027 // The PoC Year

Back the Mission.

Help us keep MinuteCon independent, affordable, and community-owned.

We Can't Do This Without You

MinuteCon is a community-first event, but its success depends on partners whose mission and values align with ours. No vendor-driven agenda; just a permanent stage for Boston's hacker community.

Sponsoring puts your name in front of a deeply technical crowd: vulnerability researchers, reverse engineers, exploit developers, firmware and hardware folks, red and blue team operators, and academics who publish.

The Event

DATES Fri Apr 30 – Sat May 1, 2027
LOCATION Boston Marriott Cambridge 50 Broadway, Cambridge, MA 02142
AUDIENCE Hackers, InfoSec & Cyber Policy Pros
PROJECTED ATTENDANCE ~500

Why Sponsor MinuteCon?

Plant a Flag in our Proof of Concept Year

This is our first year. Sponsors who commit now aren't buying ad space at a mature event; they're helping found a tradition that attendees will still be looking back on a decade from now.

A Region That Breaks, Builds, and Rethinks

Boston has one of the densest concentrations of universities, labs, and security professionals in the country, with research pouring out of MIT, BU, Northeastern, MITRE, and a thick layer of independent labs and startups.

Hire from the Bench, Not the Pipeline

Recruiting here is direct and peer-to-peer, grounded in shared technical context. Many attendees are quietly open to a conversation about their next role, project, or funding round.

Reach Practitioners Who Choose the Tools

Our audience includes the operators, architects, and team leads who recommend, deploy, and walk away from security products in their day jobs.
