Pre-Registration Unofficial Pre-PartY
Once again, Canal Bar is rolling out the red carpet, starting at 7pm, for the annual Pre-Registration Unofficial Pre-partY.
Where:
Canal Bar
270 3rd Ave, Brooklyn, NY 11215
Google Maps
When:
Thursday, July 10, 2025
7:00pm until late (they’re open until 4am—so pace yourself)
What’s happening:
- Get your wristband: Skip the line Friday morning by picking up your registration wristband early.
- Get your t-shirt: Claim your conference t-shirt before we run out of your size.
- Get reconnected: This is your chance to catch up with the friends you haven’t seen since last Summercon (or longer).
This is Summercon’s unofficial but very real community hangout before the talks start. No agenda, no ceremony—just good company, cold drinks, and a lot of bad ideas brewing for the weekend.
See you at PUPPY.

We’ve secured a limited block of rooms at the Ace Hotel Brooklyn for Summercon attendees, just minutes from the main venue. These rooms are available at a preferred group rate, but the block expires on June 18, 2025—and when they’re gone, they’re gone.

SUMMERCON 2025 – Dates, Tickets

CFP Now Open 2025
It is once again time to submit your proposals for Summercon presentations.
We admit that we have a lot of latitude in how we schedule speakers, but generally presentations fall into two categories: short (25 minutes), and long (55 minutes).
We tend to favor technical presentations that are geared around offense, but we’re open to all good ideas. Please build in time for spirited Q&A.
We invite you to review what we look for when selecting a presentation here, but here’s the quick summary:
- Technical
- Novel
- Irreverent
- Revels in the Journey
- Sticks it to the Man
- Engages the Audience
- Fits into the Allocated Time
Please submit your proposals using our Google Form.
Deadline: Saturday, May 17, 2025 11:59PM (EDT, because we’re in New York)
Trouble is brewing
We’re excited to announce that we’re gearing up for our July event in Brooklyn, NY. We’re currently huddled over keyboards (and coffee mugs) planning something extraordinary. Yes, we’re a bit late in getting the news out – blame all the booze (and the hangovers)!
More thrilling updates are on the way. Stay tuned, keep hacking, and perhaps, keep nursing those hangovers – we’ll make sure this year’s Summercon is worth the wait!
Cheers,
Summercon Management
