Security BSides

Security BSides (commonly referred to as BSides) is a hacker convention that provides a community driven framework for information security conferences. BSides was co-founded by Mike Dahn, Jack Daniel, and Chris Nickerson in 2009.[1] Due to overwhelming number of presentation submissions to Black Hat USA in 2009, the rejected presentations were presented to a smaller group of individuals.[2][3] Over time the conference format matured and was released to enable individuals to start their own BSides conferences.

There are three event styles, Structured, Unconference, and hybrid. A Structured event follows the traditional conference model and often times happens in tandem with other larger conferences such as Black Hat, RSA, etc. Attendees typically intermingle and attend one or more events. Talks are submitted to the local event ahead of time, selected, and scheduled prior to the start of the conference. In the Unconference event style it's completely attendee driven.[4][5] Attendees appear at a predetermined time, discuss ideas, and collaboratively agree upon what the schedule will look like for that day. Talks that get the most attention and conversation get added to the schedule.
