We’re Done!
That’s a wrap on BSides Belfast for another year, and what a year it was!
Hands down our best event yet – and that’s down to every single person who showed up and brought their A-game.
Our Crew – the year-round organisers who pour months into making this happen: you’re the backbone of this whole thing. Thank you.
Our on-the-day team – the ones running the floor, solving problems nobody saw coming, and keeping the whole thing moving: we couldn’t do this without you.
Our speakers – thank you for sharing your knowledge, your research, and your war stories with the community. You’re the reason people keep coming back.
Our sponsors – your support makes this event possible, full stop. Thank you for believing in what we’re building here.
Our community partners – thank you for standing alongside us and helping grow the Belfast security scene.
And to everyone who came along – thank you for bringing the energy, the curiosity, and the conversations that make BSides what it is.
Already looking ahead to next year 9th Sept 2027 @ The Europa Hotel. See you all then.
– Michelle, and the rest of the Board
Until Next Time!
In the meantime, check out some photos from this year – here. (Let us know which ones are your favourites by posting them with #bsidesbelfast26 on the socials!)
And if you didn’t catch your dream session, or just want to get some inspiration for next year, all the sessions videos are up on our YouTube!
“The Money”; Sponsor Deal
And finally, the BSides Board have agreed that we’re not meaningfully changing the Sponsor offerings for next year, and that lets us offer a 10% discount for sponsors able to commit to paying before April 1st.
Thank You All, and See You Next Year!
