The 7th edition of BSides Ljubljana will take place on 27th September 2024. To make this event possible, we need YOU – we are looking for speakers, sponsors and everyone in between!


Call for papers is open!

Are you doing something interesting, super exciting and fun that you would like your peers to hear about? BSides is organized by the community for the community and everyone is encouraged to participate. If you would like to share your enthusiasm about the work you do, if you want to enable others to learn from you, and if you want to gain recognition in the community, give a talk or a workshop at the event.

Topics of interest include the following (but are in no way limited to), preference given to talks that provide solutions as well as insights into problems:

  • Offensive and Defensive Technologies and Techniques
  • Bugs and Reverse Engineering (finding and fixing)
  • Incident Handling, Forensics and Anti-Forensics
  • Virtualisation, Container and Cloud Computing Security
  • Owning the Enterprise, Infrastructure, Applications, Databases and Client Side Security
  • Cryptography, Cryptocurrencies, Cryptozoology and other Crypto-fu
  • Embedded/Hardware Hacking and the Internet of Shit(tm)
  • Application and Mobile Security
  • Networking, Comms, Critical National Infrastructure (CNI)
  • Human hacking / Social engineering
  • Cyberspace, Policing, Law, Interception and Human Rights

If the topic you would like to present is not on the list, we invite you to submit it regardless – we will gladly consider it!

Please submit entries via [THIS SUBMIT FORM]. See details below.


We are planning several participation formats. The terms and conditions are described below:
