■About "CODE BLUE

CODE BLUE” is an international conference on cyber security where top-class experts from Japan and abroad gather.

The conference invites prominent researchers from around the world, providing opportunities to share cutting-edge research results and exchange ideas. CODE BLUE also aims to discover talented young researchers from Japan and other Asian countries and support their advancement onto the international stage.

CODE BLUE 2025, now in its 13th year, will be held at Bellesalle Takadanobaba, the same venue as last year, on November 18 (Tuesday)-19 (Wednesday). In addition to the conference, there will be workshops, contests, sponsor booths, networking parties and more. This year, the event will again be held in person only, with no online streaming. Training sessions are currently being considered and will be announced as soon as they are confirmed.

1) Cutting-edge Research and Surveys on Cybersecurity from Multiple Perspectives

The conference will feature cutting-edge talks in areas such as technical, cybercrime prevention, law & policy, and an introduction to open-source tools/projects (Bluebox). In addition, there will be talks from sponsor companies (Open Talks). Simultaneous Japanese-English interpretation will be provided (excluding some talks).

2) A Variety of Contests and Workshops Held Concurrently

A wide range of programs will be held, from international events such as “Biohacking Village” focusing on medical device cyber security and “Car Hacking Village” where participants can compete in car hacking skills, to contests sponsored by companies that visitors can casually enjoy*.

*Please note that the events are subject to change.
