Don't let thebig stage beyour first run.
Dry Run Club is a closed rehearsal room for security researchers preparing to speak at major industry events — the pacing, the story, the live demo, and the difficult questions.
First dry runHacker Summer Camp 2026Why we're here
A conference talk shouldn't meet its first real audience on the big stage.
Dry Run Club gives speakers a trusted room to rehearse the full thing before it's live: the pacing, the story, the demo, and the difficult questions. Bring the rough edges. That's the point.
What you'll get
Pressure-test the talk
Practice timing, transitions, Q&A, and the demos that always behave differently live.
Leave with a plan
Get candid, useful notes from people who understand both research and the stage.
