Summary

The Disclosure conference is an annual, vendor-agnostic security conference that took place entirely online in 2020. The event featured two tracks: one for developers and another for security professionals. As a developer, I attended the developer track and found the content to be informative and engaging. The talks covered various topics such as strategic cyber warfare, OAuth security, anti-reconnaissance techniques, public key cryptography, and browser security. The conference provided opportunities for attendees to interact with speakers and other participants through live chat, Q&A sessions, and networking. While the virtual format had its limitations, I found that synchronous communication and person-to-person interaction made it feel more engaging than watching a series of pre-recorded videos. Overall, I enjoyed the experience and would attend again in the future, suggesting that others consider participating despite the challenges of an online format.
