About BSides

Each BSides is a community-driven framework for building events for and by information security community members. The goal is to expand the spectrum of conversation beyond the traditional confines of space and time. It creates opportunities for individuals to both present and participate in an intimate atmosphere that encourages collaboration. It is an intense event with discussions, demos, and interaction from participants. It is where conversations for the next-big-thing are happening.

The history of BSides

Security BSides was created more then 15 years ago. It all started in Las Vegas in 2009,
when the BlackHat Security Conference announced its speaker line-up. Due to physical
restrictions not all speakers that applied were accepted. That sparked several online
discussions that ranged from disappointment to ideas about creating a friendlier format
for the security events that all participants would feel welcome and will be able to enjoy themselves.

It was those conversations that gave Mike Murray, Mike Dahn, and Jennifer Leggio an idea:
a community-based security event. After many people put time and money into it, in 2009,
Security BSides was born.

And it was a huge success! Therefore, after the Las Vegas edition in 2010, Security BSides
Berlin, Ottawa, Dallas, Delaware, Atlanta, Kansas City, Denver, Boston, Austin, and San Francisco
followed. In 2011, the event grew into a global event, now offering security enthusiasts the stage
in more than 60 countries.

Now in 2025, it’s time for the very first edition of Security BSides in the Netherlands. The event will take
place in the beautiful city of Groningen, a place that is full of young and ethousiastic security talent!

BSides Groningen will be held on at the iconic De Puddingfabriek in Groningen. This unique venue, built in 1932 in the Amsterdam School style, combines industrial charm with a warm, welcoming atmosphere. Originally the first facility in the Netherlands to produce pudding powder, a delightful innovation of its time, De Puddingfabriek now serves as a distinctive space for events that call for something extraordinary. It’s the perfect backdrop for an event as special as BSides Groningen, truly the cherry on top of the pudding!
