Communities are where SAINTCON gets amazing. Each community 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’re running all week, open to anyone, and they’re where a lot of first-timers find their people.

How communities work
- Drop in anytime. Communities run continuously during conference hours. Some sign-up may be required for certain events hosted by communities.
- 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.
Questions
Questions about a specific community, reach out via Discord. Questions about running one, the communities manager on the Planning Committee page is your contact.
