Conference Information
We welcome all information security professionals, students, and enthusiasts to the seventh annual BSidesAugusta! A giant thanks to Augusta University, especially the Cyber Institute and Hull College of Business, for making the Harrison Educations Commons Building on R.A. Dent Blvd available to us for the fifth year in a row. 
This year's badges will be functional circuit boards which attendees can use to build a binary clock in a workshop on the third floor. See the <A HREF="https://bsidesaugusta2019.busyconf.com/schedule" TARGET="_blank" TITLE="BSidesAugusta Schedule" DATA-MSYS-CLICKTRACK="0" REL="nofollow noopener noreferrer">schedule</A> for more details. 
There will be four tracks of mostly technical talks. Mr. Ben Johnson, CTO and co-founder of Obsidian Security, and co-founder of Carbon Black, will deliver the keynote. See the <A HREF="https://bsidesaugusta2019.busyconf.com/schedule" TARGET="_blank" TITLE="BSidesAugusta Schedule" DATA-MSYS-CLICKTRACK="0" REL="nofollow noopener noreferrer">schedule</A> for more details.
GRIMM will host a Hack the Plan[e]t Capture the Flag (CTF), featuring Howdy Neighbor and the Industrial Control System (ICS) Range. This first of its kind CTF will integrate both Internet of Things (IoT) and ICS environments with interactive components for competitors to test their skills and knowledge.
Fox Pick will host our annual favorite lock picking village!
Of course, there will be sponsor tables, scores of giveaways in the talks, a free tricky tray raffle, a free t-shirt and Chick-Fil-A lunch for those who register before September 23, and more.

FAQs
Where will the training and conference be held?
Training classes/workshops (9/30-10/3) will be held at the <A HREF="https://cybercenter.georgia.gov/" TARGET="_blank" TITLE="Georgia Cyber Center" DATA-MSYS-CLICKTRACK="0" REL="nofollow noopener noreferrer">Georgia Cyber Center</A>. The BSidesAugusta conference (10/5) will be held at Augusta University's <A HREF="https://goo.gl/maps/B18LjZJto3xG7jhA9" TARGET="_blank" TITLE="Harrison Education Commons (map)" DATA-MSYS-CLICKTRACK="0" REL="nofollow noopener noreferrer">Harrison Educations Commons Building</A> on R.A. Dent Blvd.
Will it cost me to bring my child or a guest to the conference?
Yes. As great as the venues are, they have a finite amount of space for attendees. Every attendee must have a ticket. 
Do I have to bring my printed ticket to the training and/or conference?
Yes, please bring your ticket as it's your admission to the event and you will need it at check-in. You also can use the Eventbrite app. 
The name on the registration/ticket doesn't match the attendee. Is that okay?
Each attendee needs to have their own ticket in their own name. 
What are my transport/parking options getting to the training venue?
The training venue is the <A HREF="https://cybercenter.georgia.gov/" TARGET="_blank" TITLE="Georgia Cyber Center" DATA-MSYS-CLICKTRACK="0" REL="nofollow noopener noreferrer">Georgia Cyber Center</A>, which is less than two city blocks from the Marriott and about five blocks from the Hyatt House. If you are not staying at one of the hotels, the most convenient way to get to the training venue is by car. There is a parking deck adjacent to the Georgia Cyber Center. Your training registration includes validated parking in that deck.  
What are my transport/parking options getting to the conference venue?
Transport - BSidesAugusta is held at the <A HREF="https://goo.gl/maps/B18LjZJto3xG7jhA9" TARGET="_blank" TITLE="Harrison Education Commons Building (map)" DATA-MSYS-CLICKTRACK="0" REL="nofollow noopener noreferrer">Harrison Education Commons Building</A>, about 2 miles from the preferred hotels and training venue. The most convenient way to get to the conference venue is by car. Rideshare services such as Uber and Lyft are available for a fare.
Parking
If you choose to drive to the venue, note that parking is first come, first served. Note that, unlike years past, parking is NOT available in the gravel lot adjacent to the building as that will be a construction site. You may park in ANY open-gated lot, even in spots marked “Reserved” by the University. The only exceptions are disabled, dormitory, and public safety parking, which still require a proper permit to be displayed. Please use the Goss Lane Parking Deck, the Dent Blvd Deck, the Cancer Center Deck on Laney Walker Blvd., and other parking as published on the parking map located here: <A HREF="https://bsidesaugusta.org/parking" TARGET="_blank" TITLE="BSidesAugusta Parking Map" DATA-MSYS-CLICKTRACK="0" REL="nofollow noopener noreferrer">https://bsidesaugusta.org/parking</A> (UPDATED 10/1/2019)
**PARKING UPDATED 10/1/2019** - The Dental School parking lot will be free for conference attendees from 7 AM to 7 PM. After 7 PM, parking will be assessed at the normal daily rate ($5/weekend day, much higher on weekdays). The Cancer Center Parking Deck on Laney Walker Blvd is also available. Both of these lots are now identified on the parking map.
If I register for a class or workshop 9/30-10/3, do I need to buy a separate ticket to BSidesAugusta?
No! Registraton for all classes listed above includes entry into BSidesAugusta and Security Onion Conference, as well as validated parking in the Georgia Cyber Center parking deck on your training day(s). It also includes coffee and water service on your training day(s).
What can I bring to the training?
See the <A HREF="https://bsidesaugusta.org/training/" TARGET="_blank" TITLE="BSidesAugusta Training" DATA-MSYS-CLICKTRACK="0" REL="nofollow noopener noreferrer">individual class descriptions</A> for pre-requisites and items you need to bring to training.
What can I bring to the conference?
Bring a laptop if you plan to participate in the CTF. 
What is the refund policy?
Sorry, there are no refunds for the conference. You may request a training refund for training purchased through this site (for the cost of the training ticket) through 9/23/2019. Contact us using "Contact the Organizer" to request a training refund.
