Play Hard. Hack Harder.

Join us May 31-June 2, 2026 at Courtyard by Marriott Carolina Beach Oceanfront, North Carolina

Welcome to NaClCON

NaClCON is a three day resort takeover event dedicated not just to zero-days and bleeding edge releases, but to how we got here. Whether you are an experienced veteran, or someone with a passion for learning, this event will have something for you. The focus will be on the History of Hacking - the ideas, the moments, and the people that shaped the Hacker community and its enduring impact. The speakers at NaClCON are legends within the industry, and they will be sharing their first-hand stories with you.
