CanSecWest 2025: A grand event focusing on LLM security and cybersecurity professionals

CanSecWest2025_newtype is a 25 year old cybersecurity conference that will be held in Vancouver, Canada. It has overcome the problems of insufficient diversity, excessive commercialization, and high costs that exist in traditional security conferences, and focuses on substantive content, sincere communication, and inclusive communities. ​

This conference focuses on LLM security challenges and will no longer hold PWN2OWN events, in line with the trend of technological development. The conference is rich in content, covering information security attacks and defenses from hardware to virtual cloud infrastructure, as well as cutting-edge technologies centered on AI, including detailed technical discussions on security attacks and defenses of large language models, practical workshops, and the groundbreaking "Purple Test" LLM security competition, which can provide practical and critical insights for participants. ​

The conference atmosphere is vendor neutral, emphasizing community building, with a diverse lineup of speakers, structured mentorship programs, and carefully designed networking opportunities. The new venue is more private, with lower prices, allowing more people to participate. The budget of American attendees can contribute about 45% more, and international peers can also share knowledge without interference here. For cybersecurity professionals, this is an unmissable event.
