Kiwicon is brought to you on the sweat of a thousand hackers brows, slaving for months to crack, code, trashtalk and tweet. However, when we need something more tangible, something more fiduciary, we turn to our sponsors, who have generously endowed us with cash, goods and non-creepy favours. We heartily endorse their product and/or service, and have subscribed to their newsletter. We encourage you to consider them when procuring newsletters yourself.

We're embracing the cloud future we all know and love, so our entire CTF this year is hosted in AWS.
Big thank you to Amazon AWS for sponsoring the costs related to that.
We also need to thank Citylink for the Layer-2 fibre connection and Solarix for the Layer-3 goodness to make the CTF-spice flow.
