DEF CON Middle East

The safety of our community is our highest priority.

For this reason, we have decided to postpone DEF CON Middle East. The evolving security situation in the region makes it impossible to concentrate on delivering the experience attendees deserve.

We understand that this news is disappointing, but we believe it’s the most responsible choice right now. We look forward to bringing the full DEF CON experience to friends new and old in Bahrain, and we will share new dates and information as soon as they are confirmed.

In the meantime, we’d like to offer our sincere thanks to the community, sponsors, and supporters for their understanding and continued trust. We hope and expect to welcome you to DEF CON Middle East soon, under better circumstances for everyone.

-The DEF CON Middle East Team

It’s official - the papers are signed and DEF CON Middle East is on track for November 11-12, 2026 in Bahrain! There will also be a full slate of DEF CON 2-day Trainings available November 8-10. After a very successful mini-con at last year’s Arab International Cybersecurity Conference, we look forward to bringing the full DEF CON experience to Bahrain and the region.

Stay tuned to these channels for updates, and save the date.
