Elbsides is North Germany’s annual computer security conference organized by the community for the community.
The next Elbsides conference will be held in 2026 on June 5th.. The Call for Presentations is now open.
The conference will be held at the Hotel Hafen Hamburg in the Elbkuppel, a unique event location in the heart of Hamburg overlooking the harbor. The Elbkuppel has been recently renovated and offers a modern and comfortable setting for our conference.
New for this year: We are excited to be able to offer workshops on the day before the conference, on June 4th. We are currently looking for workshop proposals, so if you have an idea for a workshop, please contact us dirctly at elbsides <at> gmail.com.
Sponsors
Elbsides cannot exist without sponsors. If you are interested in sponsoring Elbsides 2026, please contact us at elbsides <at> gmail.com.
We encourage sponsors from the local community, even if you are not a security company. In fact, since security is everyone’s concern, we would love to have sponsors from all walks of life.

Past Sponsors
Such an event cannot be organized without the support of a community of sponsors. In the past, we have been lucky to have a number of sponsors who have supported us in various ways. We are very grateful for their support and hope that we can count on them again in 2026.
