About EOCON
Where Africa Secures the Digital Future
EOCON is not a cybersecurity conference. EOCON is the annual gathering where Africa, the diaspora and the global cybersecurity ecosystem come together to build the future of digital security. Expert talks, technical workshops, strategic panels and the EyesOpenCTF — all in one event, in-person in Douala and online worldwide.
Joining EOCON — on-site in Douala or online from Paris, Montréal, Lagos or London — means being where tomorrow's opportunities, collaborations, careers and businesses in security are born. Where Africa secures the future.
