As Jack Daniel is over there, not here said normally we’d all be busily getting ready to host your amazing faces and learn and share and everything. Until we see you all again, stay safe, check in on each other, and take care. We love you all very much. ❤️❤️❤️

How we all feel right now when our subconscious tells us the con is this weekend but our brain reminds us it isn’t.

Ok, some of you have noticed that bsidesdc.org was a bit out of sorts for a while now. We have fixed things and now launched our new site! Check it out, we’re really excited for our new home and getting comfy.

Please read this important thread from the BSides Mothership.

As of now we are going to try planning for an in-person con. Our CFP is open so if you have a talk idea or a class to teach, send it in! bsidesdc2021.busyconf.com/proposals/new

We’re planning on an in person event this year so that means we need some awesome companies to help us out by sponsoring! Find out more here: bsidesdc.org/sponsors

We’re still looking for speakers for this year’s conference, 29 days to go in our CFP. Have a talk you’ve been thinking about? First time? Bring it and there’s a good chance you’ll get your shot. bsidesdc2021.busyconf.com/proposals/new

Just over a week left in our CFP. If you think you may want to talk at a con this is a great opportunity! Submit your talk, panel, or class here. bsidesdc2021.busyconf.com/proposals/new

Only 3 days left in our CFP so if you’re thinking of submitting now would be the time. bsidesdc2021.busyconf.com/proposals/new

Today is the last day for our CFP. If you’re still considering it, take the leap and join us! Some great talks have been proposed and we’re getting excited to hear the awesomeness! bsidesdc2021.busyconf.com/proposals/new

We wish we had better news but due to current circumstances we have decided to postpone BSidesDC another year. It was a tough decision with a lot of board discussions. For a full explanation check our new blog: bsidesdc.org/bsdc-blog/best…

BSidesDC fam, we have been working diligently with the Washington Renaissance to find dates to gather. Unfortunately it is not in the cards for 2022. Instead we are working for 2023. Watch this space for more to come!

Looking forward to this gathering, hope to see many of you there!

For those of you who go to cons for #hallwaycon and ask "what talks?" We bring you the #BSidesDCDE Potluck to a park near us bit.ly/BSides23PLReg BSidesDC
