Red Team Summit 2026
Welcome to the Red Team Summit 2026 CFP. RTS will be held March 10 and 11 in McLean, Virginia. RTS is unlike any other conference, made for and by a community of internal Red Teams.
When submitting a proposal, please keep this in mind. This con is for content that you cannot submit or find to other conferences. This covers program discussions of the operation of Red Teams as well as technical tradecraft and war stories you could never tell in another forum. We are here to learn from each other's experiences and I assure you that you have something we could benefit from knowing.
We have 20m and 45m talk formats, as well as panel discussions. When submitting your proposal, please include sufficient detail to ensure that the Review Board has a good sense of the content and depth of your presentation to help us curate the content. In the Description field, please provide a talk outline and in the Notes field please give any information you want us to know. If you are submitting a panel, please have a list of people that you wish to put on it. Sometimes we get several talks that fit within a theme. When this happens, the Review Board will often contact the submitters to form a panel discussion.
Talk submissions that are not sufficiently detailed may be summarily rejected and result in not being extended an invitation to the conference. Examples of poor submissions include, but are not limited to:
- Submissions that are a single paragraph or less in length
- Submissions that are just a link to some previously published work
- Submissions from red team / pentest consulting firms
- Submissions about “What is red teaming”
Examples of things that make a good submission include, but are not limited to:
Clearly conveying what kind of talk it is – is it meant to convey information (e.g. “How my team hacked 1507 systems in one day”), is it meant to entertain (e.g. war stories)

What the audience will take away
With all this in mind, please submit your content! You are what makes Red Team Summit the best conference for Red Teamers in the world.
