"[The] OpenSSL conference 2025 was one of my most technically enriching experiences. I learned a lot through delivering my talk, attending others', getting feedback and going around the booths," said Nikita Tripathi, Software Engineer at Qualcomm. "Even more remarkable was how well-coordinated and organised it was, to be able to handle around 450 people on time. Kudos to the team for making it happen!"

Vaclav (Vashek) Matyas, Head of the Centre for Research on Cryptography and Security at Masaryk University Brno, said, "Three great days with the right people from various communities supporting good crypto, open source, and reliable security. Many nice talks, relevant networking and smooth organization. I'm looking forward to the next edition - let me know the dates soon! :-)"
