Summercon is one of the oldesthacker conventions, and America's oldest and longest-runninginformation security conference. It helped set a precedent for more modern "cons" such asH.O.P.E. andDEF CON, although it has remained smaller and more personal.^{[citation needed]} Summercon has been hosted in cities such asPittsburgh,St. Louis,Atlanta,Washington, D.C.,New York City,Austin,Las Vegas, andAmsterdam. Originally run byPhrack, the underground ezine, and held annually in St. Louis, the organizational responsibilities of running Summercon were transferred toclovis in 1998 and the convention took place in Atlanta, dubbed 'Summercon X'.

In its modern incarnation, it is currently organized byredpantz(Chris Valasek) andshmeck, who emphasize the importance offace-to-face interaction as technology increasingly mediates relationships between members of the information security community. Summercon is open to everyone, including "hackers,phreakers, phrackers, feds,2600 kids, cops, security professionals, U4EA, r00t kids club, press, groupies, chicks, conference whores, k0d3 kids, convicted felons, and concerned parents."^[1]
