BSidesNoVA

Cybersecurity takes center stage at the inaugural BSides NoVA Conference. The community-driven event will be hosted at Center for Innovative Technology in Herndon, Virginia on Saturday, February 25th, 2017 and will be attended by nearly 400 students and industry professionals. Speakers will cover topics ranging from the state of the cybersecurity industry to bleeding edge research on vulnerabilities, exploits, protection, and response. The featured keynote speakers will be announced in October.

In addition to the talks, multiple activities will be available to conference attendees such as a Capture-the-Flag event which challenge attendees to defeat security controls, and a series of Penetration Testing Workshops which teach the fundamentals of hacking. The conference will conclude with an Entrepreneur Lightning Talk Event which aims to promote innovation in the local security community through individual mentorship.


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-things are happening.

BSidesNoVA is an Information Security un-conference. We’re a 100% volunteer organized event, put on by and for the community, and we strive to keep information free.
