BSides Columbus 2023

Each Security BSides Conference 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-thing are happening.

BSides Columbus was founded in 2014 to give local information security enthusiasts a platform to share their discoveries and breakthroughs in securing technology to the vast Central Ohio infosec community. BSides Columbus has been proud to feature the likes of David Kennedy, Runa Sandvik, Jayson Street, and Thomas Drake as keynote speakers in years past. Not only is BSides Columbus an awesome place to showcase 614 security talent, but the conference is also a fantastic way to meet fellow security practitioners.

This year's conference will include:

• One-day training class on the 14th (more details to come!)
• One full-day of conference talks by local cybersecurity professionals on the 15th.

Call for papers is currently open, please see https://sessionize.com/2023-bsides-columbus to submit! We look forward to your submissions.
