We’re excited for the upcoming OpenInfra Summit Europe and can’t wait to hear from the community! As we prepare for another incredible gathering of developers, operators, and technologists, the Programming Committee for the Security & Confidential Computing track is on the lookout for insightful, practical, and forward-thinking sessions.

If you’re working on innovative security solutions, confidential computing strategies, or tackling real-world infrastructure challenges, we want your story on stage. Submit your proposal by June 13 and help us shape the future of secure, open infrastructure—without the unnecessary complexity.

What We’re Looking For

Here’s the type of content the committee is excited to see:

• Beyond the basics: Go further than “just use a scanner” — share real tactics like:

  • Hardened pipelines
  • Exploit case studies
  • Sandboxing tradeoffs
  • Real-world supply chain attacks
  • Practical compliance approaches that avoid unnecessary bureaucracy

• Stories from the trenches:

  • Real-world security or privacy incidents and how you tackled them
  • Lessons learned that others can apply to save time, effort, or cost

• Cutting-edge advancements and practical implementations:

  • Confidential computing breakthroughs and real-world use cases
  • Secure, scalable, and accessible zero-trust architectures

• Talks at the intersection of tech domains:

  • Confidential computing + cloud-native HPC
  • Infrastructure blueprints for a range of security-focused use cases

• Innovative architecture & infrastructure ideas:

  • Alternatives to traditional virtualization (e.g., secondary VM models)
  • Protecting confidential vs. merely “secure” storage
  • Community-driven infrastructure shaped by real user stories
