Some not very good photos from @bsidesleeds.bsky.social It was lovely to see so many people after such a long time, and to give @mintynet.com IRL ((hugs)) rather than virtual.

Thanks again to the organisers, volunteers, speakers, and sponsors for making this fantastic event happen. Met lots of wonderful people (new and old), saw some great talks, and had a load of interesting chats. If you've never been to a BSides, get yourself down to one, they are excellent events.

Morning coffee in hand as normality returns after another great @bsidesleeds.bsky.social Theme of closing panel discussions was Community - for me, encapsulated by meeting Mr Awkward Hugs himself @jaysonstreet.bsky.social IRL ~2 decades after sharing random various messages in online forums

Had an awesome time volunteering at @bsidesleeds.bsky.social yesterday. Managed to catch most of @jaysonstreet.bsky.social brilliant keynote, and thanks to the incredible @ministraitor.bsky.social I can catch up on what I missed later. The rest of the day is a heart swelling blur. 🥰

And that's a wrap! Thank you all. ❤️

Looking for schedules, map, programme, general info? Here's everything you'll need in one handy place:

As we set up for the day, we want to take this opportunity to do a massive shoutout to our incredible sponsors who made this all possible! Thank you so much for all your support and helping make BSides Leeds what it is.

Best of luck to @bsidesleeds.bsky.social. I hope everyone has a smashing time. For fun, here's @thebeerfarmers.org making a right arse of themselves at the event, back in 2019. @phat-hobbit.bsky.social @j-opdenakker.bsky.social @seanwrightsec.com www.youtube.com/watch?v=44Qn...

If you're coming to BSides Leeds on Sat and you grew up in the UK where your only access to PBS Childrens TV was 10 year old re-runs of Sesame Street and have little idea who Mr Rogers is, then I urge you to spend 10 mins watching this All will make sense on the day www.youtube.com/watch?v=Pxny...
