BSidesLuxembourg2026!

The purpose of the BSidesLuxembourg is to provide a local instance of the Security BSides series of conferences by the community for the community!
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 event has a code of conduct, which will be enforced actively. BSidesLuxembourg, like all BSides, is meant to provide a safe space for anyone and everyone to learn.

When?

The conference will be held in the Grand-Duchy of Luxembourg on May 6-8th, 2026 (06-08.05.2026), as a 3-day event.
May 6th will be exclusively for trainings, workshops, and villages.
