Security BSides (commonly referred to as BSides) is a series of loosely affiliated information security conferences.[1] It was co-founded by Mike Dahn, Jack Daniel, and Chris Nickerson in 2009.[2][3][4] Due to an overwhelming number of presentation submissions to Black Hat USA in 2009, the rejected presentations were presented to a smaller group of individuals.[5][6] The event was named after the "B-side" of a vinyl record.[7]

Over time the conference format matured and was released to enable individuals to start their own BSides conferences.[8][9] The Las Vegas BSides conference is also considered part of Hacker Summer Camp given its schedule and proximity to other security conferences during that time.[10]
BSides was organized in a style similar to an unconference in its inaugural year, with talks selected immediately prior to the event through an online community-driven process.[11][12] Every year since, the speaker lineup has been scheduled in advance through a formal RfP process, and published by the organizers ahead of time.[13]
