Process

Our CFP Review Board is a diverse set of IT and Information Security Professionals from around the globe. BSides ABQ decided to actively search for reviewers that could bring unique perspectives, experience, and talent to our Call for Papers Review. We are incredibly proud of our reviewers and our Blind CFP process. We believe our BSides ABQ Review Board helps us improve our conference, and we can’t thank them enough for their effort.

Expenses coverage

If your company can cover the expenses, that would be a massive support for our BSides ABQ, as we entirely rely on our sponsors, and this is a non-profit conference. 

Visa sponsorship

Unfortunately, we won't be able to help you with any visa sponsorship requirements. However, we can undoubtedly provide a letter of acceptance and an invitation to participate at BSides ABQ.
