In the years 2012-2014 dozens of sites expanded the forum's geography due to interactive connection. To participate in PHDays IV in the last year specialists in information security organized their own venues in Abu Dhabi (UAE), Birzeit (Palestine), Beirut (Lebanon), Tunis (Tunisia), Kiev and Lviv (Ukraine), as well as in many Russian cities. Each of these hacker spaces turned into a serious event of the regional level and joined together up to 150 local information security specialists.
