About BSides London
BSides London Canada is an inclusive community-based information security conference for participants interested in information security.
Founded in 2025, BSides London Canada is a space to share ideas and have respectful debates. All are welcome.
And, in case it wasn’t obvious,
We are London in Canada. Not that ‘other’ London.
We are The Forest City. Not The Big Smoke.
We have the London Knights. Not the Premier League.
It’s 519/226/548. Not 020.
It’s .ca. Not .uk or. london.
It’s CAD. Not GBP.
It’s EST/EDT. Not GMT/BST.
It’s four seasons and terrible snow days. Not drizzles on repeat or damp radiators.
We are an authorized chapter of the Global BSides information security community, with 12 chapters in Canada and over 1,200 chapters worldwide.
Sponsorship
We need Local Community Support!

Important:
We align with the following from Global BSides:
To respect participants' privacy, we do not provide participants' information, such as attendee lists.
Sponsors are necessary to keep the attendance cost affordable. BSides is not a 'spam' lead generation event. Sponsorship is a commitment to our community and allows the Sponsor to share knowledge and network during the event.
We do not sell speaking slots. Sponsors, like everyone else, can submit proposals to the Call For Papers (CFP).
Words matter: Participants, not attendees. Sponsors, not vendors.
You have an interesting information security topic but are not quite sure where it might belong? You got this - put it in anyway. Our reviews consider submissions on merit and diversity across the spectrum of information security topics, not who you are.
Each talk (including Q&A) has either 25 minutes or 55 minutes.
Submissions must meet the following requirements to help avoid disqualification.
Submissions must be about work you performed. For example, PR agencies or marketing teams cannot submit anything on behalf of a speaker or author.
Submissions must abide by our Code of Conduct.
Submissions must not be sales pitches for products or services or marketing campaigns.
Submissions must be for talks that have at most 2 presenters.
No more than 2 different submissions.
