🎮 LAST CALL, PLAYERS 🎮 The clock is ticking… The BSides Leeds CFP closes TODAY! This is your chance to press START on your talk, share your knowledge, and level up the community. Whether you're a first-time speaker or a seasoned pro, we want to hear your ideas!

Are you ready to do your first talk but need a little encouragement? We have mentors on standby to help you craft your talk, from creating slides to content delivery. Many experienced speakers delivered their first talks at a BSides, as community conferences are super friendly.

You don't have to have a full talk planned, just an idea and an abstract, and what key takeaways you want to impart to the listeners. Fill in the link below... bsidesleeds.com/cfp #CallForPapers #CallForSpeakers #BSidesLeeds

Experienced speakers - we need you! We are looking for speaker mentors to support our brand-new speakers who have requested one.

Our CFP is still open for another week so feel free to submit a talk, but if you are also keen to mentor the next generation of speakers, drop us a message at [email protected] #SpeakersWanted #CFP #Mentoring

Kicking off March is the one and only John Follin on Making Shor: cryptography in a post-quantum world

Slightly late announcing this one - apologies! This month (11th March) we've got John Follin presenting his talk "Making Shor: cryptography in a post-quantum world". All are welcome. Full details in the link: dc151.org/march-2026-m...

Our first fully committed sponsor is @zephrfish.yxz.red. Long time supporter as a speaker and now a sponsor as well. Andy would like everyone to know about his Malwareless Adversarial Emulation training course lms.zsec.red We may be biased, but we reckon it is top quality stuff.

I've been waiting to watch this talk for a long time. It's not often that @ministraitor.bsky.social gets on this side of the camera but he knows more about what happens behind the scenes at conferences than almost anyone else.
