Communities are where SAINTCON gets amazing. Each one is a dedicated space on the conference floor run by volunteers who love a specific corner of the security world: lockpicking, ham radio, hardware hacking, badge-life, and more. They run all week, open to anyone, and they’re where a lot of first-timers find their people.
The 2026 lineup
Every community now has its own page. Tap in to see what they’re running.
How communities work
- Drop in anytime. Communities run continuously during conference hours. Some events hosted by communities may require sign-up.
- Hands on. Every community has something to do: pick a lock, solder a minibadge, capture a signal, break a container, learn a new skill.
- Bring questions. Community leads are there because they love explaining their corner of the craft.
- Trade minibadges. Many communities have custom minibadges you can earn by participating. See MiniBadges.
