Documented collaborators

DerbyCon was a landmark security conference and performer-driven initiative founded in 2011 by Dave Kennedy, Martin Bos, Adrian Crenshaw, and Alex Kah. While the event itself ceased after its 9.0 edition in 2019, DerbyCon’s storytelling, hands-on villages, and a culture of collaboration left a lasting imprint on the InfoSec community. This performer page highlights DerbyCon’s bio, notable discography highlights (in the context of its conference contributions and stage performances), and a look at the organization’s influence, charitable activity, and the community footprint that persists in security circles today.
