Le Tour Du Hack 2020
Le Tour Du Hack is ENUSECs, Edinburgh Napier University Security Society, annual flagship event. The goal of Le Tour Du Hack is to educate attendees on cybersecurity through engaging, innovative and unique ways. The first Le Tour Du Hack took place in 2017 as a weekend face-to-face CTF competition aimed at students interested in cybersecurity within the Edinburgh area.
Le Tour Du Hack 2019 was a sell-out success, welcoming 230 students and professionals with a two-track conference followed by a student-led CTF. We plan on taking this momentum forward into #LTDH20. While we plan on using the same event format as #LTHD19, feedback has changed how we plan on handling sponsor booths.
The educational ethos which has always underpinned Le Tour Du Hack will carry over to this conference. There is no better example of this than our 2nd track to students speakers, thus providing the opportunity for students to gain public speaking experience.
Last year we learned that networking can be a daunting task for some students, so for 2020 we plan on integrating a food spread, beverages, and cocktail tables in the same space as our sponsor booths in order to encourage conversation.
The second day will be familiar to those who have attended Le Tour previously, an entirely student led and organised Capture the Flag event, focusing on engaging, practical and technical content. We plan on seeing hundreds of students, as well as professionals, coming together from all over the UK to learn and develop their skills, competing over the day in numerous varied & intense challenges.
