The vision for BSidesSTL is simple: Give interested techies a place to start and gain a foothold in the security community. The local security community in STL is vibrant. We want to continue growing that community by hosting a free or low cost event that can introduce the interested to the connected.

This event is a conference with local speakers and hackers showing technologies they love and talking about how they have gotten involved in the greater Security Community.

All experience levels are welcomed from beginner to expert, first time speakers to veteran speakers.

We look forward to reviewing your submissions!

*Please note, BSidesSTL is unable to assist with travel expenses at this time.
