Question 1

Do you have a Code of Conduct?

Accepted Answer

We follow the Berlin Code of Conduct.

Question 2

When will talk recordings be uploaded?

Accepted Answer

A staple question at any infosec conference! We plan to get them out within 30 days of the conference finishing. This allows speakers time to opt-out of the upload and gives ourselves, and volunteers, time to caption any video.

Question 3

Do I really need a ticket? Don't you know who I am?

Accepted Answer

Once the General Admission tickets are gone - they're really gone. We don't do multiple drops, hidden discount codes, mates rates, or let folks in because we want to massage their ego. We want everyone who attends the conference to be on a level playing field.

Question 4

Is the venue accessible?

Accepted Answer

Yes! The venue is fully accessible with different entrances (double doors and ramps) and the entire event will be accessible. If you have accessibility concerns or questions, feel free to reach out to us or the venue directly.

Question 5

How can I sponsor the event?

Accepted Answer

If you, or your company are interested in exploring sponsoring opportunities, we'd love to hear from you. Our sponsorship pack (https://hackglasgow.live/sponsor) contains all relevant information but please don't be afraid to reach out and grab some time with us for a chat!

Question 6

I'm a speaker/volunteer, do I need a ticket?

Accepted Answer

Speakers and volunteers will be given a full ticket to the day. If you've already purchased a ticket, you can either request a refund, resell it, or give it away.

Question 7

When will the Call for Papers open/close?

Accepted Answer

The Call for Papers (CfP) will open around 6 months prior to the event and close around 3 months prior to the event to give speakers enough time to confirm their acceptance and write their talk.

Question 8

What's the Pay It Forward scheme?

Accepted Answer

Tickets are bought and donated to the Pay It Forward scheme by members of the community to allow those who wouldn't otherwise be able to attend a chance to come along and experience an infosec conference. Applications for the Pay It Forward scheme are assessed by the Hack Glasgow team.

Question 9

Are members of the press welcome?

Accepted Answer

Yes! We want to showcase our brilliant speakers, attendees, sponsors, and crew to you. The only rule we have is to make yourself clearly known as a member of the press when interacting with delegates (wearing your press creds usually covers this). Contact us for a press pass.

Question 10

Can I bring my child (under 18), and do they need a ticket?

Accepted Answer

Children are welcome at the event however please bear in mind some topics may be of an adult nature. Children over 2 years old require their own ticket to be purchased. Children under the age of 16 must be accompanied at all times by adult and vacate the premises by 9pm to comply with licensing law.

Question 11

Wait, weren't you in a different venue on a different date?

Accepted Answer

Yes! Our original venue was sadly sold mid-contract booking causing us a bit of a headache to find a new venue that is accessible and friendly. We have since found a new venue and had to shift date to give everyone (speakers/sponsors etc) enough time to prep.

Question 12

Do I need to give my real name?

Accepted Answer

No! You can use any throwaway name and on the day you can write any handle or name on your badge you like. We need to scan a valid QR code on entry, and collect dietary information, but that‘s it!

Question 13

Will my data be shared?

Accepted Answer

Absolutely not. We don’t collect demography, and we don’t pass sponsors (or anyone) your information. Only organisers and limited crew have access to eventbrite.

Question 14

It’s my first time at something like this, am I welcome?

Accepted Answer

Absolutely! We welcome new attendees with open arms. If you’re worried about attending alone, drop us an email and we’ll make sure you have a (non-invasive) buddy for the day.

Question 15

I want to come for just the after party, do I need a ticket?

Accepted Answer

Yes. In order to keep things fair and cost effective we require everyone that’s attending to have a ticket (whether they’re attending for the day only, night only, or both).

Question 16

Why do I need to give details per ticket?

Accepted Answer

We need to collect allergen/dietary requirements per attendee to ensure food preparation is all done correctly. If you're transferring your ticket, please get the new owner to fill this section out.
