BSidesChicago
We’ll Be Back in 2027
BSidesChicago 2025 may be behind us, but the energy from that event is still very much alive within us all!!
From packed rooms and hallway conversations to hands-on villages, first-time speakers, seasoned pros, career connections, and a whole lot of flamingo-fueled chaos, BSidesChicago 2025 reminded us exactly why this community matters.
What made it special was not just the talks or the villages. It was the feeling in the room. Curious. Welcoming. Friendly. Community-driven. A place where people could learn, connect, ask questions, share ideas, and just be part of something real.
We heard from so many of you after the event, and your feedback meant the world. You told us the atmosphere felt inclusive and supportive. You told us the Career Village made a difference, the Lockpick Village stayed buzzing, and the Great Flamingo Hunt added exactly the right amount of wonderfully ridiculous side quest energy!
“10/10 would Flamingo again!”
To every participant, speaker, volunteer, village lead, sponsor, and supporter: THANK YOU!!! BSidesChicago has always been a community-built event, and 2025 was no exception. You are what made it extraordinary!
We’re taking a little breathing room in 2026, but this flock is not done.
BSidesChicago will return in 2027!
When we come back, we’ll bring the same heart, the same community spirit, and probably at least a little flamingo-related trouble.
Until then, thank you for being part of BSidesChicago!
With gratitude,
Kat & Sasha the Flamingo
