BSidesLV 2014 will consist of four main speaking tracks, one math track, and one workshop track. This year, we’re also teaming up with PasswordsCon. They will be co-locating with us, bringing you 2-for-1 conference action – all for the low, low price of FREE!!
Main Tracks
Round 2 of the Call-For-Presenters is open until June 15 CLOSED!
- Breaking Ground - Ground Breaking Information Security research and conversations on the “Next Big Thing”. Interactively discussing your research with our participants and getting feedback, input and opinion. No preaching from the podium at a passive audience.
- Common Ground - Other topics of interest to the security community. e.g., Lock-picking, hardware hacking, mental health/burnout, Law, Privacy, Regulations, Risk, Crypto, Activism, etc. Again, interactive discussions with your peers and fellow researchers. Not passive lectures “at” an audience.
- Proving Ground - Speaker Development Program. 30-minute presentations from up-and-coming first-time national speakers, teamed with one of our experienced volunteer mentors.
- Underground - OTR talks on subjects best discussed AFK. No press, no recording, no streaming, no names. Just you and your peers, behind closed doors. Think about it.
- Training Ground - This track consists of workshops and classes to give your students hands-on experience learning the latest and greatest. We accept proposals for 1/2 day, full-day and 2-day workshops.
Introducing Ground Truth – a new track for BSidesLV 6!
The Call-For-Presenters is open!

The Ground Truth track is focused on innovative computer science and mathematics applied to security. Topics of interest include machine learning, natural language processing, Big Data technologies, cryptography, compression, data structures, zero knowledge proofs or just about anything academically publishable that usually baffles review committees for other conferences.
