RomHack is one of the premier computer security conferences in Italy, attracting 800 attendees from 32 countries in 2024, with the same number expected in 2025. Now in its 8th edition, the conference is supported by sponsors but organized entirely by volunteers from the Cyber Saiyan non-profit association.

Over the years, RomHack has hosted both Italian and international speakers, some of whom have presented their research at other renowned international conferences such as BlackHat, Defcon, Nullcon, BruCON, and BSides. A few notable examples include:

• 2024: Sina Kheirkhah, Andy Nguyen (2024 agenda)
• 2023: Kim Zetter, Orange Tsai, Alessandro Magnosi (2023 agenda)
• 2022: James Forshaw, Nestori Syynimaa, Markus Vervier (2022 agenda)
• 2021: Antonio Morales, Dirk-jan Mollema (2021 agenda)
• 2020: Marcello Salvati (2020 agenda)
• 2019: Orange Tsai, Meh Chang, Vincent Le Toux (2019 agenda)
• 2018: Sebastian Castro (2018 agenda)

The conference is conducted in English and is scheduled for Saturday, September 27, 2025, in Rome at “Salone delle Fontane”, one of the city's most prestigious venues.

The Call for Papers (Attack & Defense topics) is open until May 18, 2025, and speakers will receive an acceptance notification by the end of June 2025.
