BSides Ballarat 2026

BSides

Security BSides is a volunteer-run, community-organised conference format that began in the United States and now runs in cities across the world. In this directory the BSides organiser page groups the Australian and wider Asia-Pacific editions: BSides Canberra, the largest volunteer-run security conference in Australia, which fills the National Convention Centre each September; BSides Perth at the UWA Business School in November; BSides Brisbane at QUT Gardens Point in July; and editions in Kathmandu and Mussoorie. BSides Sydney and BSides Melbourne are listed under their own names. Tickets are cheap or free, talks are chosen by open call for papers, and villages and capture-the-flag events run alongside the main track.
