Biohacking Village CFP: Where Code Meets Life – Are You Ready to Change the Future?Calling all cyber warriors, medical misfits, and biohackers on the edge: The Biohacking Village at DEF CON is back, and this year, we’re pushing the boundaries even further. We want your boldest ideas, your wildest hacks, and your most daring experiments. The BHV isn’t just a stage for talks—it’s a global platform for shaping the future of healthcare and cybersecurity. We’re building a place where genetics meets code, biology meets hacking, and technology meets humanity.
This is your chance to join the rebels in redefining healthcare security. Whether you're an MDM innovator, a researcher with groundbreaking findings, or a hacker who's just cracked the code on medical device vulnerabilities, we want your insights on our stage. This is the moment to be loud, be fearless, and make your mark on the future of connected health.
The Biohacking Village has grown into an inclusive, hands-on playground for the entire biomedical ecosystem - patients, clinicians, hackers, manufacturers, regulators, hospital administrators, and everyone in between. It’s the only space where healthcare, cybersecurity, and biohacking collide in real-time. But we’re not just here to talk. We’re here to disrupt, innovate, and build healthier futures through meaningful, secure technology.
What can you bring to the Village?
💡 New device vulnerabilities?
💉 Medical algorithms that need an ethical hacker’s touch?
🔬 Biological processes ripe for digital transformation?
🚨 Patient safety issues waiting to be solved?
We want your stories. We want your breakthroughs.
Come armed with knowledge and leave with an army of collaborators ready to tackle the next wave of healthcare challenges head-on.
But remember, at the Village, we play fair.
