#bsidesrgv

Information security and information technology professionals from both private and public sector organizations throughout the Rio Grande Valley are putting together a cybersecurity event for the community.  This event will be the 4th Annual BSides RGV Cybersecurity Conference and will follow the well-known BSides community-driven framework.  In order to make this event a success, we need your help.  We are looking for presenters, sponsors, and volunteers for the conference.  What makes a BSides different than any other cybersecurity conference is the goal is to create opportunities for individuals to both present and participate in an intimate atmosphere that inspires collaboration.  We not only want to encourage the local cybersecurity community to attend, but also to submit a presentation proposal.  We know there is talent in our community…this is your chance to share your knowledge with your peers.
