Security BSides explained

Security BSides (commonly referred to as BSides) is a series of loosely affiliated information security conferences.[1] It was co-founded by Mike Dahn, Jack Daniel, and Chris Nickerson in 2009.[2] [3] [4] Due to an overwhelming number of presentation submissions to Black Hat USA in 2009, the rejected presentations were presented to a smaller group of individuals.[5] [6] The event was named after the "B-side" of a vinyl record.[7]

Over time the conference format matured and was released to enable individuals to start their own BSides conferences.[8] [9] The Las Vegas BSides conference is also considered part of Hacker Summer Camp given its schedule and proximity to other security conferences during that time.[10]

Of the three standard conference event styles, structured, unconference, and hybrid. BSides falls into the unconference, or anti-conference, event style and is completely attendee driven.[11] [12] [13] 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.
