The Inter Uni CTF in full swing, @digininja old stomping ground doing well so far. Thanks again to @Steel_Con and @BSidesLeeds for the prize pool tickets
I’ve had a @Steel_Con ticket become available for tomorrow! Yours at face value 👍
Lancaster are the new champions, taking 2 time winner Warwick Universitys crown!
18 mins left, Lancaster just took top spot, the Sheffield Hallam teams in 4th and 5th
The Call for Crew will be going out later and the first, pre-talk announcement, ticket drop will be on Friday we hope
What's that, you have a talk or workshop you would like to submit to Sheffield's best security conference happening between July 11 and 13 2025? Well, you are in luck, our CFP has just opened, throw your details in here: docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAI… Any questions, just ask.
If we did @Steel_Con everyday I would be so fit.💪 20km. Although I probably need to consider the breakfast butties, stroopwaffles, pork scratchings, Ice cream and copious amounts of pizza. 🤔
Calling it a day on the 2024 con. Thanks to everyone for coming, speakers, crew, sponsors, and attendees, we couldn't do it without all of you.
While we are on everyone's minds, we want to do big things next year for our tenth edition so need lots of big sponsors. If you think your company could help, please put us in touch with them. Each additional sponsor means more fun for you.

For anyone who hasn't been to the con before, we've put a video walk through of all the main locations together. photos.app.goo.gl/5yLoxv5xV5Dtm5…
Forgot to mention the bring and buy stall. If you have any tech stuff lying around that you think others may want, bring it along and we will try to sell it on. All cash goes to charity.
I've been teasing a scammer for a few days on WhatsApp. They contacted me via a WhatsApp business account, but they are adamant to get me to send them a Hi via to their personal WhatsApp account. Any idea why?
Upcoming cons, meetups and CFPs (oh my)! @DC44131 1st July @_dc151 10th July @hack_thursday (that's us!) 18th July @BSidesBSK 19th July @Steel_Con 19th - 21st July @BSidesExeter 27th July @bsidesncl CFP (papercall.io/boncl24) closes 17th Aug @bsidesbristol 30th - 31st Aug
We've added a new section to the website aimed at first timers and those unsure about whether the con is for them or not. It is a little late for this year, but please have a read through it and give feedback. steelcon.info/steelcon-begin…
A friend of mine made a game, it's a cool puzzle game, he's a solo dev, spent 9 months on it, it's actually got some traction and was briefly top 100! If you like Puzzle games or want to help an indy dev out please consider buying it, it's £2.50 play.google.com/store/apps/det…
Have we got any designers out there who could help us sort out this year's brochure? I've got the last couple of years designs in Affinity Designer format, it just needs a refresh for new sponsors and blurb. Can anyone help us out in return for con tickets/beer tokens?
