Call for speakers at the inaugural OpenSSL Conference

The first OpenSSL Conference will take place October 7–9, 2025 in Prague. It will be an excellent opportunity to learn more about OpenSSL. Talks will range from technical discussions of cryptography to open source communities to practical guidance for internet security.

More to the point, it’s a great opportunity to speak about these topics. If you have expertise in a topic related to OpenSSL, please consider applying to be a speaker. In addition to the unique opportunity to address the OpenSSL community, speakers will receive a complimentary conference pass.

To get some inspiration, see the list of pre-approved topics. The conference is offering 4 tracks:

1. Business Value & Enterprise Adoption
2. Technical Deep Dive & Innovation
3. Security, Compliance & the Law
4. Community, Contribution & the Future

The OpenSSL Foundation is particularly interested in speakers who represent noncommercial audiences:

• academics
• nonprofits
• individual developers

Please apply even if your submission feels a little outside of the pre-approved topics. And don’t let cost be a blocker. We have a small pool of funds to cover travel expenses for speakers who need a hand.

We are excited to hear from you, so apply now.
