PQConf is the premier conference uniting the world's foremost researchers, engineers, and policymakers advancing post-quantum cryptographic standards and deployment.
The US government has set 2030 as the deadline for federal agencies to complete migration to post-quantum. NIST finalized the first PQC standards in 2024. The clock is running — and adversaries aren't waiting.
Nation-state actors are already collecting encrypted data today with the intent to decrypt it once a capable quantum computer exists. Sensitive data with a long shelf life — health records, financial data, state secrets — is already at risk.
NIST finalized FIPS 203, 204, and 205 in August 2024 — the world's first post-quantum standards. The White House has directed all federal agencies to complete PQC migration by 2030. Private sector compliance expectations will follow.
Cryptographic infrastructure is deeply embedded across every system. Organizations that haven't started inventory and planning are already behind. PQConf exists to accelerate the knowledge-sharing that makes migration possible before the deadline hits.
PQConf 2027 features pioneering researchers and practitioners at the forefront of post-quantum.

Founder, Center Identity
Matthew Vogel is the founder of Center Identity, an identity and access management company focused on quantum-resilient authentication infrastructure. PQConf is his initiative to bring the global PQC research and practitioner community together for the first time under one roof.
We are actively seeking researchers, engineers, and industry leaders working at the frontier of post-quantum. Talks, panels, and workshop sessions are available.
PQConf 2027 runs over two days at the Four Seasons Hotel Seattle. The program features keynotes (60 min), research and industry talks (40 min + Q&A), moderated panels, and hands-on workshops. All sessions are single-track — every speaker gets a full-room audience.
All confirmed speakers receive: round-trip travel covered, hotel accommodation at the Four Seasons for the duration of the conference, a speaker honorarium, full conference access, and recognition across all PQConf marketing and digital channels.
Send a brief bio, your proposed talk title, and a 2–3 sentence abstract to speak@pqconf.com. We review on a rolling basis. Recordings and slide ownership remain with the speaker.
PQConf is committed to providing a safe, inclusive, and professionally respectful environment for all attendees, speakers, sponsors, and staff.
All participants are expected to engage respectfully and professionally. Harassment, discrimination, or intimidation of any kind — based on gender, race, religion, nationality, disability, sexual orientation, or any other characteristic — will not be tolerated.
If you experience or witness unacceptable behavior, please report it immediately to a PQConf staff member or email conduct@pqconf.com. All reports are handled confidentially. We are committed to taking appropriate action.
Violations may result in removal from the conference without refund at the discretion of the organizers. PQConf reserves the right to refuse entry or remove any individual who violates this code at any time during the event.
