At RBLN, the boundaries of technology are meant to be challenged. Join the thinkers, builders, and disruptors redefining cybersecurity and innovation. Dive into breakthrough ideas, master new skills, and connect with those who are creating the future—today. ### Who's Invited to RBLN? RBLN is for anyone who questions the rules, breaks the models, and builds what comes next. From hackers and researchers to students, startups, and creators—if you're pushing tech, security, or AI forward, you belong here. ### Will there be virtual or on-demand access? RBLN is built for in-person collaboration and hands-on engagement. Select content may be shared after the event, but the full experience happens on-site. ## Tickets ### How much do tickets cost? Ticket prices vary by event and purchase timing. Early bird tickets are significantly cheaper. Check the specific event page for current pricing. ### What is your cancellation policy? No backing out of the rebellion — all registrations are final and non-refundable. ### Can I transfer my ticket? Absolutely. Tickets are transferable at no charge. Just email us with the new attendee's details. ### Is there a discounted hotel rate? Yes, a room block is available at the Hyatt Regency Reston for registered attendees. ## Speaking & CFP ### How do I submit a talk? Check our [Call for Papers](https://www.rbln.com/cfp) page for submission guidelines and deadlines. CFPs typically open 4-5 months before each event. ### What kind of talks are you looking for? Technical content. We want practical security work: threat research, tooling, incident response, architecture, red team techniques, detection engineering. No vendor pitches. No fluff. ### Do speakers get free tickets? Yes. Accepted speakers receive a complimentary conference pass. We don't currently cover travel, but we're working on speaker support for future events. ## Sponsorship ### How do I become a sponsor? Fill out our [sponsor inquiry form](https://www.rbln.com/sponsor). We'll get back to you within 48 hours with our prospectus and available packages. ### What sponsorship tiers are available? We offer packages ranging from party sponsorships to speaking slots and booth space. Each event has limited availability to keep the vendor ratio reasonable. ### Do you accept pay-to-play speaking slots? No. Speaking slots are earned through the CFP process. We do offer sponsored "vendor lightning talks" (clearly marked), but main stage content is merit-based only. ## Logistics ### Are Meals Included? Your conference badge gets you fuel for the rebellion—daily coffee, snacks, and yes… there will be beer. It also includes access to networking events and the exclusive AfterFuse After Party, where the real connections (and chaos) happen. ### Is there a dress code? Wear what lets you think, build, and collaborate. Anything from business casual to hacker-casual is welcome. ### Will talks be recorded? Most talks will be recorded and released under Creative Commons. Speakers can opt out if needed. ### Is there WiFi? Yes, but don't rely on it. We provide WiFi, but at a security conference, assume it's compromised. Plan accordingly. ## Contact Have a question not listed here?
