Research presented at ShmooCon

ShmooCon seeks to select talks that are original research and have not been presented at other conventions.

Charitable efforts

Every year ShmooCon supports multiple charities, such as the Electronic Frontier Foundation and Hackers for Charity, by sponsoring T-shirt sales. Attendees are provided the opportunity to donate a fixed amount of money for a charity in exchange for a T-shirt. ShmooCon also has a long-standing program, Shmooze-A-Student, where attendees can opt to cover an undergraduate college student's ticket fee and stipend when purchasing their own ticket.
