Dates and Location

The 70th TF-CSIRT Meeting took place on 25th – 27th September 2023 in Stockholm, Sweden. The meeting was kindly hosted by the Svenskt CERT-forum (Swedish CERT-forum).

The training events were held at the SEB offices, Stjärntorget 4, 169 79 Solna, Sweden.

The main meeting venue was Swedbank head office, Landsvägen 40, 172 63 Sundbyberg, Sweden.

Transportation and Accommodation

The easiest way to get to either is via commuter train from one of the following stations:

  • Stockholm Odenplan
  • Cityterminalen (T-Centralen)
  • Södra Station

We recommend staying in a hotel near one of these stations and will provide details on transportation options, tickets, and so forth closer to the event. Public transportation options between the area where training is held and the area for the main meeting are limited.

Recommended hotels near the main venue (Swedbank Head Office):

Call for Proposals

The Call for Proposals is CLOSED. We encourage all teams to contribute to the programme of our future meetings.

Topics you may wish to consider include:

  • Team Updates
  • Threat Intelligence Sharing
  • Tooling and Services for CSIRT Communities
  • Use of Machine Learning
  • Generative AI, (offensive and defensive usecases)

Please send us any ideas you may have for ideas, content, panels, discussions that might not fit a “traditional” speaking slots – we love to add new content to the programme.

Registration

Registration for the meeting is CLOSED.

Social Event

The Social Event took place at the Vasa Museum – a real treasure from the 17th century that offers us a rich history, from the work at the Ship Yard to life on board a warship.

There was a guided tour at the museum and a three course dinner. As it is a maritime museum, fish is their speciality, but as an alternative there will also be vegetarian options. It is recommended to bring a jacket or a sweater to wear during the dinner, since it is about 18 degrees in the hall by the ship.
