Black Alps is a non-profit organization founded in 2017 whose main event will be the organization of Black Alps conferences.

The Black Alps values are the followings:

• Independence: We are an independent conference, we are not affiliated with any commercial or industrial group.
• Content: The content is selected by a program commitee. Our goal is to provide you with interesting and exceptional talks and workshops who are consistent with the industrial world.
• Privacy: We assure you the confidentiality and privacy of your information; we do not share this information, especially we do not share it with our partners or sponsors.

The current committee is composed of Sylvain Pasini (president), Yohan Martini (treasurer), and Maude Schneider (secretary). The other organizers (see above) are also members of this organization.

Black Alps is supported by the HEIG-VD, Y-PARC, and staff involved in the previous cyber security events in Yverdon:
