Here is a list of all approved BSides chapters worldwide. If you notice an approved chapter is missing from this list, please have the person responsible for that chapter fill out the form here https://bsides.org/missing/
If you are looking to start a new chapter, please email [email protected] with your pitch, and we’ll schedule an interview via Zoom or a similar platform. The interview will start by assessing your qualification to organize a BSides event, and your connection to the community for which you are proposing a BSides. You need to demonstrate a deep connection to the community you want to serve, for example, by living, working, or spending significant time there. The latter part of the interview will then go over what is expected of a BSides organizer.

Additional informationIn less than two months, our fantastic team of volunteers will be putting on the inaugural BSides Den Haag (English: The Hague) event in the Netherlands. We’re aiming for a one-day event with 70-80 attendees, although we can accommodate a bit more.Our CFP review process is well underway, and we’re starting to formulate our agenda. With tickets going live in the coming days, the excitement is building. We have about 20 submissions from 16 people, so we do welcome some late submissions, but it's a decent initial kickstart.Our hope is, of course, that the Den Haag chapter becomes much more than an annual event; we hope to build a thriving community with a shared passion; a place to share knowledge, research, and the latest innovations in our field.Co-founders are Cody Barrow, CEO of EclecticIQ, Jake Norwood, who runs Booz Allen Hamilton's Europe & UK commercial business, and Rich Wickersham, who many of you may know from BSides NoVA.
