Bsides is back in Iowa!

The local Info Security community and many others from around the Midwest showed up in full support for our inaugural conference in 2025!

We are now fully focused on year 2 and bringing you another amazing con in 2026!

We will be hosting the conference on Saturday, June 13th, at the FFA Center in Ankeny!

What is BSides and what can I expect?

Each BSides event is part of a framework of worldwide events.

These events create opportunities for individuals to both present and participate in an intimate atmosphere; encouraging collaboration by placing focus on interacting with B-Sides participants.

Security B-Sides events are community organized – they are put on by local individuals with the goal of establishing a platform for information exchange.

Our events expand the spectrum of conversation beyond the traditional confines of space and time, creating opportunities for individuals to present and participate in an intimate atmosphere that encourages collaboration.

As a result, BSides are intense events, with dialogues, demos, and interaction from participants that inspire and facilitate discussions about the “next big thing” in information security.
