LayerOne 2025

Capture the Flag is back! This year’s contest is graciously hosted by the folks over at Qualcomm. The game will use a Jeopardy style board with challenges. This contest is for both beginners and experienced CTFers. Challenges will span many domains including web hacking, system hacking, forensics, reverse engineering, and crypto. Registration is open to all, no qualifications necessary. You can follow the CTF team on twitter at @LayerOneCTF for clues and additional information.

REMINDER! The 2021 Call for Papers ends on April 15th – get your talk submission in before then.

Hi all,

LayerOne 2021 will be held on May 29-30, 2021!

Due to the continued COVID-19 restrictions for large events in California and Los Angeles County, we’ve decided to host LayerOne virtually this year. We’ll be using a combination of Twitch TV and Discord to accommodate our various presentations, workshops, events, contests, and more! We’ll be announcing our Call for Papers and details of the various contests and events for 2021 soon – stay tuned!

Sincerely,
The LayerOne Staff

As a result of the COVID-19 pandemic and the current CDC timelines, we’ll be unable to host LayerOne 2020. We’re in the process of refunding all registrations but this may take a few days to process. We are reviewing if we’d like to do some of the contests or events in a virtual capacity, but for most of LayerOne this doesn’t make sense. Any virtual events we host will be free of charge and open to everyone to participate in.

Thank you to everyone who submitted to this year’s CFP/CFT, registered for the conference, or was volunteering for staff, contests, or events. You all make LayerOne great every year and we hope that you’re able to make it in 2021.

In the meantime: stay safe, healthy, and happy!

Sincerely,
The LayerOne Staff
