SUMMARY:ChiBrrCon 2026 CFP Open
DESCRIPTION:ChiBrrCon is Chicago’s premier vendor-free\, practitioner-driven\, nonprofit security conference where community\, creativity\, and technical excellence come together. Born from the icy winds of the Midwest winter\, ChiBrrCon delivers high-quality technical talks\, interactive villages\, and engaging leadership discussions—all without vendor sales pitches. \nThe theme for 2026 is Artificial Intelligence.  AI isn’t going anywhere (unless it replaces humans first). So yes\, bring your hottest AI takes\, but don’t worry—non-AI talks are still encouraged\, because cybersecurity is way bigger than just robots pretending to be smart. \n  \nSubmit your CFP HERE
