About the conference
Bigger, bolder — and worth the wait.
The 5th BSides St. Pete cybersecurity conference will occur in January 2027. Our commitment to providing an exceptional experience means we're dedicated to making this event the best yet — featuring cutting-edge insights, expert speakers, and invaluable networking opportunities.
2026 will be skipped so we can return with a revamped focus on innovation and collaboration. Plus, "winter" in Florida opens the opportunity for more reliable weather. Join us as we elevate the conversation around cybersecurity and shape the future together.
