… the missing FIN notes ..

We did it! We managed to carry out the 7th edition of BSidesLjubljana and from so far (super positive) feedbacks it feels we made another great event.

Tickets, released in two batches, were literally gone in a few minutes, yet again!!! Our new venue Računalniški muzej / Slovenian Computer History Museum was packed with 130 BSidesLjubljana participants. 30% more than we initial planned with new venue, but sadly due to space limitation 50% less than previous year (before COVID).

It seems information security communities and enthusiasts are starving for events like this, so it gives us acknowledgment we are on the right path. \o/

We are very grateful to everybody and want to say the biggest THANK YOU to:

• All participants for creating a great and true unconference BSides-like vibe as well as all the hype on twitter (#BSidesLjubljana)!
• Speakers for participating by sharing your expertise by giving talks and carrying out workshops. We are happy there were 9 lightning talks in the end – thank you for your contribution!
• @Ministraitor for flying all the way to Ljubljana once again to video record all talks!
• All the sponsors and strategic partners for covering most of the costs and making BSidesLjubljana FREE for all participants: Pareto Security, 0patch, 3FS, VIRIS
• All community sponsors for – taking care of working wireless equipment: Sfera IT; an extra hand with PR & Marketing: OWASP Slovenia/Maribor, SecTalks, Ogrodje podcast; taking care of legal/financial activities: LUGOS
• Računalniški muzej / Slovenian Computer History Museum (@muzej) for hosting us and making sure Club Mate was there for all the hackers.
• Media sponsor Help Net Security.

Video recordings are now published on this site with all the slide decks we received from the speakers.
