BSidesDFW 2026

Making security accessible to everyone since 2010. Security B-Sides Dallas/Fort Worth (BSidesDFW) is back for it's 17th year. Join us for BSidesDFW 2026, a community-driven cybersecurity conference bringing together hackers, defenders, researchers, builders, students, and security professionals from across Dallas-Fort Worth and beyond. This year's event includes: • Multiple Speaker Tracks featuring talks from security practitioners, researchers, and members of the community • Hands-on Workshops where you can dig deeper and learn by doing • Lockpick Village learn the fundamentals of physical security and put your skills to the test • Hardware Hacking Village grab a soldering iron, and build your BSidesDFW Badge. Build it, wear it, connect it, and then figure out what else it can do • Unconference Activities brand new this year is a Book Exchange, Sticker Swap, and Hacker Happenings • Scavenger Hunt and Capture the Flag hunt for clues, solve puzzles, and test your technical chops in our Capture the Flag. BSidesDFW isn't just about sitting in a room watching presentations. It's a place to experiment, participate, meet people, exchange ideas, and get involved. Come learn something. Come break something. Come build something. Come meet your community.
