Bsides is a community driven initiative very similar to BruCON. BSides is coming to Berlin for the first time and BruCON decided to support this event.
Each BSides is a community-driven framework for building events for and by information security community members. The goal is to expand the spectrum of conversation beyond the traditional confines of space and time. It creates opportunities for individuals to both present and participate in an intimate atmosphere that encourages collaboration. It is an intense event with discussions, demos, and interaction from participants. It is where conversations for the next-big-thing are happening.
They are still looking for sponsors and the Call for Presentations is still open but will close soon! You should participate and become a sponsor or a speaker. For more information: http://berlinsides.org/
