BSides

BSides is a framework for organizing and holding security conferences. The concept began in the US in 2009 with Mike Dahn, Jack Daniel, and some others because the CFP for Black Hat Vegas or DEF CON was oversubscribed and those unable to present decided to hold their own conference on the 'b side'. Now, many have been arranged in several countries throughout the world. BSides has come to be known as a 'conference by the community for the community'. Events are generally free to attend and rely on sponsorship to pay for the venue and other costs and are run as not-for-profit.

Because the events of B-Sides offer smaller, more intimate networking atmospheres and breakout discussions, they foster strong audience participation and overall group interaction.

A popular BSides conference is the one in San Francisco, known in the security community for its high-quality talks. In 2011, BSides San Francisco included 28 talks, 40 presenters, and several interesting panels ranging from legal debates to cyber-security awareness.[1] In 2012 it included 24 talks, 35 presenters, and one half-day training course.[2]
