The purpose of the BSidesLuxembourg is to provide a local instance of the Security BSides series of conferences.
BSides is a non-profit 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 also a conference with a balanced mix of content, where technical and non-technical people can meet and share all kinds of information freely. The conference will be held in the Grand-Duchy of Luxembourg on June 19th, 2025 (19.06.2025), as a 1-day event only on this first ‘reboot’ year.

The event will feature talks (presentations incl. lightning talks), workshops (2-4h) and trainings (8h).
We invite you to submit talks (presentations, papers), lightning talks, workshops, and training proposals for selection by the BSidesLuxembourg submission review committee.
