Chaos Communications Camp (CCCamp) 2015 is happening in Germany next week.
The Neo900 project will be there, talking about the project and it’s security features. They’ll have some Neo900 prototypes to check out. Paul Kocialkowski will give a lightning talk about Replicant.

Huntz will have a lecture: “Pushing the limits of DIY electronics: Bridging the gap between DIY and professional electronics” that sounds interesting.
Michael Schloh von Bennewitz has a lecture: “Attacking IoT Telemetry: A study of weaknesses in the pipeline of rapidly advancing sensory development” that sounds very interesting.
Ramiro Pareja has a lecture: “Hardware attacks: hacking chips on the (very) cheap: How to retrieve secret keys without going bankrupt“. In addition to the lecture, they also have a “Hacking Hardware Like a Pro” workshop, where they “will show you more advanced techniques to break into microcontrollers using professional tools“.
Byterazor will have at talk on FPGA hacking. And I’m sure I missed some hardware/firmware talks in my quick look at the schedule.
