Hilton Chicago

We’re thrilled to announce BSidesChicago is coming home to the iconic Hilton Chicago, and this year we’re going BIGGER! Our partnership with the Hilton team continues to exceed all expectations – they don’t just host us, they help make magic happen.

What’s New in 2024?

🎯 50% More Space – We’re expanding! More room for villages, networking spaces, and our fantastic sponsor showcase. This means more opportunities for those legendary hallway conversations where careers are launched, collaborations are born, and friendships are forged. Some say the best talks at BSides happen in the corridors – and this year, we’re giving those impromptu knowledge-sharing sessions the space they deserve!

Our venue brings so much more than just beautiful architecture and a prime location. Here’s what makes the Hilton Chicago experience extraordinary:

• World-Class Catering – The Hilton’s culinary team consistently delivers outstanding meals that keep our community energized and satisfied throughout the event.
• Top-Tier A/V Support – Our presentations deserve the best, and the Hilton’s A/V team delivers broadcast-quality production that makes every talk shine.
• Premium Amenities – From the comfortable seating areas to the professional staff, every detail is handled with excellence.
• Early Bar Service – For our 21+ attendees, the bars will open at 10AM. Because sometimes security research requires… creative thinking! 🍺
• Expanded Sponsor Area – A generous space for our amazing sponsors to showcase their latest innovations and connect with the community. Their support makes BSidesChicago possible, and this year they’ll have more room than ever to engage with attendees.

The Hilton Chicago team doesn’t just provide a venue – they’re true partners in creating an unforgettable BSidesChicago experience. They understand our community’s unique needs and go above and beyond to ensure every aspect of the event runs smoothly.

Join us as we return to this magnificent venue for another year of learning, sharing, and strengthening our incredible infosec community. With more space and the same exceptional service, BSidesChicago 2024 is shaping up to be our best year yet!
