BSides Calgary is back - May 25-26

BSides Calgary is a community-driven information security conference designed for professionals, students, and enthusiasts who want practical, real‑world insight into cybersecurity. Unlike large, commercial conferences, BSides focuses on authentic knowledge sharing, accessibility, and meaningful connection within the local and regional security community.

Attendees gain exposure to high-quality technical talks, hands-on discussions, and emerging security research across topics such as defensive security, offensive techniques, governance, privacy, cloud, and risk management. Sessions are curated to be relevant and actionable, making them valuable whether you’re hands-on technical staff, a security leader, or early in your career.

One of BSides Calgary’s greatest strengths is its community-first approach. The conference fosters open conversation between speakers and attendees, encouraging learning through dialogue rather than sales pitches. This creates an environment where questions are welcomed, ideas are exchanged freely, and attendees leave with insights they can immediately apply.

BSides Calgary is also an excellent opportunity to network with Calgary’s cybersecurity ecosystem—including practitioners, leaders, educators, and students. Whether you’re looking to grow your professional network, explore career paths, or give back to the community, BSides provides a welcoming and inclusive space to do so.
