About Security BSides
Security BSides, or simply BSides, is a grassroots movement that has sparked a global wave of community-driven conferences presenting a wide array of information security talks. Imagine it as the indie music festival of the cybersecurity world – it’s where the latest tunes in security research and innovation are shared, away from the mainstream stages. Born out of a need to find a home for security presentations that didn’t fit into the larger, more commercial conferences, BSides has become the stage for security professionals and enthusiasts to connect and share ideas in an open, collaborative environment.

CFP Description
We’re looking fill 15 minute or 30 minute talks about infosec, tech, or event just something nerdy that you’re passionate about! We’re looking for talks that tell a story, your story.
First time talking at a conference? No problem! That’s what BSides is about, it’s a safe environment to test out that talk in front of a smaller crowd and really hone those speaking skills.
But we aren’t a sales conference, so please don’t try to sell us something. It’s ok to talk about a product or even mention that it’s something for sale, but don’t use this time as a pitch for your service or product.
This event is about the community, not about selling another blinky box or checkbox tick.
