Brought to you by
The SAINTCON Widows Group
Where SAINTCON can be enjoyed by the whole family.
SAINTCON Family Night Event is what it sounds like. It is an opportunity for conference attendees to bring their family to SAINTCON and show them all the cool things they’ve been talking about around the dinner table. Participating attendees will use critical-thinking, creativity, and imagination to experience all the event has to offer.
What’s going on at Family Night the year?
A few of our events are listed below:
| – Kid Talks | – CTF (bring a device to use!) |
| – RFID Exploration | – Nerf Guns |
| – Oscilloscope Waveform Activity | – Rocket Building |
| – Soldering Station | – Lego Racetrack |
| – HeboCon | – Keyboard Art |
| – Scavenger Hunt | – Tinfoil Hats |
| – Balloon Cars | – Bristle Bots |
| – Lockpicking | |
You will hear presentations by kids and youth alike on the cool STEM topics they have learned or things they have accomplished (and we invite your kids/family to share too–see our call for presentations!).
For those of you excited about the CTF, please bring a device to play with! All things can be accomplished in a web browser, so a phone or tablet could work, but a keyboard, and a native SSH client will make your life a little bit easier.
You will have opportunities to interact with passionate people in the cyber-security world, including some of our SAINTCON Communities where your eyes can be opened to the endless opportunities the field offers. The SAINTCON Family Night Event aims to ignite the passion we feel about cyber-security in a way that is accessible to people of all ages.
Who is Family Night for?
SAINTCON Family Night is geared toward family members of SAINTCON attendees who are between the ages 4-16, but you are encouraged to bring the whole family and be prepared for a great night!
SAINTCON Attendees can register their families (PARTICIPANTS) for the event beginning August 17th. Tickets are limited to 500 participants, so register early! NOTE: all kids must be accompanied by at least one adult with a SAINTCON Conference badge.

REGISTRATION for this event is for PARTICIPANTS of Family night (i.e., the kids/family members that you bring along to participate in the Family Night Activities.)
PRE-REGISTRATION IS REQUIRED FOR PARTICIPANTS of this event! Cost of the event is $12 per participant. This cost helps to cover the hard costs it takes to provide this event.
