Space is no longer a frontier visited by the few. It is now the location of infrastructure for the many. The satellites above us now provide navigation, timing, communication, internet access and other services that the world runs on. Attacks on them are no longer hypothetical but expected.

Take the Con brings the people working to defend them into the same room. Two days of presentations, trainings, and networking, run for researchers by researchers. No product pitches. No marketing talks.

The Final Frontier Foundation is a 501(c)(3) non-profit established by hackers and aerospace professionals to engage and support the community at the intersection of the space and cyber domains. Our mission statement,"To Boldly Know" reflects the value we place on curiosity and passion in the pursuit of cybersecurity research, education, and evangelism for a safe and resilient future in space.

The Foundation has no paid staff and runs at cost: it keeps back roughly enough to open the doors the next year, and puts everything else back into the conference.
