BSides Budapest is soliciting papers and presentations for the 2019 BSides Budapest IT security conference.

ABOUT BSIDES

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 presents and participates in an intimate atmosphere that encourages collaboration.

It is an intense event with discussions, demos, and interaction with participants. It is where conversations for the next-big-thing are happening.

WHO SHOULD SUBMIT

We are most interested in new presentations, but important updates on existing work are welcome. We are also interested in presentations from new faces, therefore, we encourage any individual who has not spoken at a conference before to submit a talk and attempt to make BSides Budapest their inaugural event.

NOTE: BSides Budapest does not accept product or vendor related pitches. If your talk is a camouflaged advertisement for a new product or service your company is offering, please do not apply.

SPEAKERS’ BENEFIT

As BSidesBUD is a low-cost conference, we cannot reimburse the travel/accommodation expenses of our speakers, but we will invite them to a speakers dinner the day before the conference. Speakers will also be provided with a fancy BSidesBUD speaker T-shirt and a special gift-package from us. Speaking at BSidesBUD means professional prestige as you can share the stage with great presenters and IT-security experts, and it is also a good opportunity to start your speaker career. If you are coming from abroad, BSidesBUD is a great destination, because Budapest is one of the most beautiful capitals of Central and Eastern Europe, you can stay here after the event to check out our beautiful city.
