Security BSides Cayman Islands is a community and content-driven security conference with opportunities for you to share your knowledge and expertise.

We are excited to connect with any individual with a passion for security that would like to speak about their experiences, ideas, insights or new concepts.

We are currently unable to assist with travel and lodging expenses associated with presenting at Security BSides Cayman. Please do not submit unless you are prepared to pay for travel to the Cayman Islands! We are an all-volunteer, non-profit organization with limited funds.

We greatly appreciate and value the time and effort that goes into creating and presenting your talks.
