What is a Security BSides Event?
Each BSides is a community-driven framework for building events for and by information security community members. The goal is to expand the spectrum of conversation beyond the traditional confines of space and time. It creates opportunities for individuals to both present and participate in an intimate atmosphere that encourages collaboration. It is an intense event with discussions, demos, and interaction from participants. It is where conversations for the next-big-thing are happening.
History of Security BSides
BSides was born in 2009 when a number of quality speakers were rejected from a mainstream conference, not due to lack of quality but rather lack of space and time. Our mission is to provide people with options by removing common conference barriers and by providing more options for speakers, topics, and events.
- 2009: Launched in the United States.
- 2010: BSides breaks into the global space with the first European event.
- 2011: More than 30 events worldwide in the US, Europe, India, Hong Kong, & Australia.
- 2019: First BSides Vancouver Island event held at the University of Victoria
- 2023: Second BSides Vancouver Island event held at the Vic Theatre
Thousands of people have attended and written about their experience at BSides events.
