Welcome to PET Convention (aka PET-CON)
an informal workshop on Privacy Enhancing Techniques
Events: PET-CON 2009.1 ·PET-CON 2008.2 ·PET-CON 2008.1 · PET-CON 2007

Next event

PET-CON 2009.1 will take place in Dresden, Germany on March 24-25.

The convention will start after lunch and a short introduction. After that we allow those participants who would like to do so, to give a short talk (i.e. about 10 minutes). The purpose of the talks is to get feedback from the other participants, discuss new ideas, related work, etc. Following that, we'd like to see some small group discussions, but discussing in bigger groups is possible as well. For those that plan to stay over-night, there'll be a social event with food and drinks in the evening.

2009-03-25: PET-CON 2009.1 is over. We are grateful to all participants and supporters. Please see PET Convention 2009.1 for the agenda and the PET-CON 2009.1 CfP. Come back to this page at a later time for information on PET-CON 2009.2 which will take place at some time in summer 2009.

What's the purpose of PET-CON?

PET-CON is a convention to help junior researchers, master and diploma students, to come together and exchange ideas. For this purpose, we're holding this event every six months at an easily reachable location somewhere in Germany or nearby.

The convention is organized according to the grass roots approach: from young researchers for young researchers. Therefore, there is no formal dress code, no filtering of contributions, and no participation fee. If possible, we plan the convention in a way which allows people to travel there and back home on the same day -- so that busy people can participate as well.
