"Security BSides" is a globally recognised, community-driven framework for building events for and by regional information security communities. There are currently no directly related, community-focused support organisations/conferences in the region, and as such the community is currently limited in its ability to meet, collaborate and share experience in a noncommercially-incentivised manner. The events provided by BSides Belfast will provide direct networking, upskilling and education to the information security community in Northern Ireland, while also participating in a global network of over 750 other similarly incorporated BSides chapters around the world, across 60 countries and in over 200 cities, and attracting experts and practitioners from across that network to share their expertise with the regional community. BSides Belfast 2024 welcomed 600 attendees to our conference, including 22 speakers (from 78 submitted sessions from local cybersecurity practitioners), with an expectation to grow to 700 attendees in 2025
A "stakeholder" is any person or organisation affected by the company's activities. Please indicate who the company's stakeholders are; how the stakeholders have been consulted and what action has the company taken in response to feedback from its consultations. If there has been no consultation you must state 'There has been no stakeholder consultation held'. The organisations stakeholders consist of a the board (3), the organising committee (6), conference partners companies and voluntary/governmental organisations), and conference attendees. Considering the main activity of the company is the annual BSides Belfast conference, consultations are centred around that event, with pre-event consultations with conference partners to ensure that conference activities are aligned to overall regional community goals (as well as aligning joint investment with other local conferences such as NIDC/ServerlessDays / BigDataBelfast to collate speaker support programmes). Additionally, after the conference, attendees were consulted via digital survey for their views on how to adapt for next years conference. The Board meets monthly; the organising committee meets bi-weekly between the months of April and September, and a one-off bicameral 'Retrospective' meeting is held in October or November to reflect on the conference and attendee survey results.
