Frequently asked questions
What are the most important cybersecurity conferences in Spain?
By attendance and track record, RootedCON (Madrid, March), the CCN-CERT STIC Conference (Madrid, November) and INCIBE’s ENISE (León, October). On the technical community circuit, Bitup Alicante, Navaja Negra, EuskalHack, h-c0n, No cON Name, MorterueloCON and SecAdmin stand out.
What is the difference between a hacking conference and a corporate cybersecurity event?
Community conferences (RootedCON, Bitup, EuskalHack, h-c0n…) focus on technical talks, workshops and CTFs, and are run by associations or volunteers. Business events (EspañaSec, Securmática, Barcelona Cybersecurity Congress) target CISOs and executives, with a focus on strategy, risk and vendors.
Are the 2027 dates confirmed?
Only those already published by the organisers: h-c0n (5–7 February), EspañaSec Cyber Summit (9–10 February) and RootedCON Madrid (4–6 March); for JNIC 2027 the venue, Salamanca, is confirmed. The rest are shown as estimates, in the month they are usually held, and are updated as soon as they are announced.
How do I add a conference to my calendar?
Every conference with a published date has a button to add it to Google Calendar and another to download the .ics file, which works with Outlook and Apple Calendar. You can also download all the filtered dates at once.
