BSides Manchester Preview Night

BSides Manchester is rebooting. This Preview Night is a focused, RSVP-only evening designed to bring the local community back together and bridge the gap between software engineering and security.

Whether you build, ship, secure, or test software, this night is for you. We are moving away from traditional silos to foster a practical dialogue between Builders and Breakers.

What to expect

A high-signal panel discussion followed by structured networking with pizza and soft drinks. We are keeping this intentionally simple, technical, and welcoming
