Andrew Hay and I are organizing a Security B-Sides two day, free event in Ottawa, Canada this November. It about time that the hottest thing in Information Security made its way north of the border.
If you are unfamiliar with B-Sides, it is a community-driven event built 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.
More information from Andrew's Blog:
Well we finally decided on Friday, November 12th & Saturday, November 13th, 2010 for the first Security BSides Ottawa conference. We’re still finalizing the venue but we’re quite close to locking it down.
Information about BSides Ottawa can be found here.
The Call For Papers (CFP) can be found here and is open to all.
Remember, this is a free event and we expect numerous speakers and attendees from Government, Education, Defence, Healthcare, Financial Services, and Technology sectors. It’s win-win.
Invite your friends by posting this on Twitter: “#BSidesOttawa Friday, November 12th & Saturday, November 13th 2010: Discover the next big thing! http://bit.ly/BSidesOttawa”
In addition to presenting, we are also looking for volunteers and sponsors. If you think you can help out, please let us know.
Where else can you find a security with scheduled shenanigans? :)
