x33fcon
2025-06-12 - 2025-06-13 | Gdynia, Gdynia, Pomorskie, Poland
The idea behind x33fcon (pronounced /ˈziːf-kɒn/) is to focus on a very specific need of the security industry: collaboration between blue and red teams (sometimes referred to as purple teaming). We know from our professional experience how hard it can be to build a solid bridge between those who assess security and those who guard the castle. Many misconceptions and misunderstandings arise between these two groups.
We want to change that. Rather than continue to think about security from either an offensive or defensive perspective, our goal is to encourage security professionals to consider both perspectives while working more closely together. Both blue and red teams provide unique capabilities to an organization, but the collaboration between the two yields the best results.
x33fcon is an event that brings both groups together, and everyone from both sides of the fence are invited to gather, share ideas and discuss thoughts on security. -Event description from organizer profile

Bsides San Diego
2026-04-04 | Aztec Lanes, 6075 Aztec Circle Dr, San Diego, CA, 92182, United States
What is BSides?
BSides San Diego is an Information Security conference that is not like any other conference. We’re a 100% volunteer-organized event, put on by and for the community. We do not have paid speaking engagements and all speakers are selected by the BSides SD committee for their content and interest that it brings to the community.
BSides San Diego is a non-profit organization designed to advance the body of Information Security knowledge, by providing an annual, two-day, open forum for discussion and debate for security engineers and their affiliates. We produce a conference that is a source of education, collaboration, and continued conversation for information technologists and those associated with this field. The technical and academic presentations at BSides San Diego are given in the spirit of peer review and advanced knowledge dissemination. This allows the field of Information Security to grow in breadth and depth, and continue in its pursuit of highly advanced scientifically based knowledge.
BSides San Diego isn’t another “talk at you” conference. Everyone at BSides is a participant. The security researchers, engineers, analysts, and business leaders who present at BSides San Diego are looking to engage all of our participants and be engaged by the ideas of the community. They want your feedback, opinions, and questions.
Our speakers don’t talk at you, they converse with you! Come be a part of the conversation!

The Next Big Thing!

Presenters at our conference are engaging our participants and getting the discussions started on the “Next Big Thing”, not preaching at you from the podium about last month’s news. There are no “attendees” at a BSides event. EVERYONE is a participant, adding something of value to the conversations.

Raising the Bar for Security
The BSides community has continuously raised the bar and put the INFO back in INFOSEC. We thank every member, participant, and organizer of this community for their hard work, sweat, and relentless pursuit of high-quality information.
We also have to give a HUGE amount of thanks to our generous sponsors and donors who have the foresight to give without strings attached, year after year, and PROVE to the community that we are all in this together. In concert, the participants, sponsors, and donors have allowed for us all to get together and provide the time and space to share our ideas.
With some of the most passionate and influential InfoSec practitioners from around the country and the world, coming to BSides SD is the place to be. The mix ranges from “down in the trenches” engineers, to business leaders, thought leaders, and executive decision-makers of all stripes.
