About Us

BSides Hampton Roads is a community-driven cybersecurity conference built to connect, educate, and inspire the Hampton Roads security community. As part of the global Security BSides movement, our event provides an open and collaborative environment where professionals, students, researchers, and technology enthusiasts can come together to share ideas, exchange knowledge, and build meaningful connections.

Our mission is to create a welcoming space where everyone — from seasoned cybersecurity experts to those just entering the field — can learn, participate, and contribute. Through engaging presentations, hands-on workshops, live demonstrations, and interactive discussions, BSides Hampton Roads promotes practical learning and real-world collaboration while encouraging innovation across the regional cybersecurity community.

 We’re a 100% volunteer organized event.
