PancakesCon Infosec Conference

Thank you for attending #PancakesCon this year. I know the schedule change was rough, and we had an incredibly crew of volunteers, speakers, and village organizers who put up with that. Our talks will be posted over the next few weeks, and we really hope you had an amazing time and learned a lot.

Taking inspiration from my wonderful friend @jaysonstreet.bsky.social I'm celebrating a successful @pancakescon.com Hardware Hacking Village with some ice cream. Shout out to @se.gfau.lt @ednas.bsky.social and @techgirlmn.bsky.social for their help and presentations.

I so appreciate being able to be a part of this year's con. So many great people coming together to make it happen!! Y'all are the truly amazing ones.

Our final keynote, the amazing @alyssam-infosec.com will be speaking in a few minutes. Track 2 will be closing, and it will be streamed on Track 1 followed by our closing remarks and CTF awards! Thank you for attending #pancakescon and @comfyconau.bsky.social today!

We have a last minute swap due to unforeseen internet backhoeing - Our final Track 2 speaker is now Emily Gladstone Cole - please give her some love for stepping in extremely last minute.

After my presentation for @pancakescon.com hopefully. I'm really struggle-bussing right now and could use some sky therapy.

Our final talks before @alyssam-infosec.com 's keynote will be "From Terry to Telemetry, Security to Sweets: Doing What You Love" and "Certificates & Fitness - How Fitness can help you relieve stress from ADCS's Distress"!
