We have been informed that there is a cycling event on-site Saturday morning. Please be mindful of any cyclists.

This is something, that as a semi-former cyclist, is dear to me. Reminder "1. Bicyclists have the rights and duties of other vehicle operators: (551.101)" aka they are no different than your car, share the road. Bike Texas

That concludes my ranty PSA.

Parking: We have been assigned Lot 95 and Lot 96. These should be on the back 40, at the end of the road. As you enter the property turn right at the stop sign by the gate and follow the BSidesDFW yard signs.

Parking Passes are required. These will be distributed on-site. Sorry, No self-print.

Thank you to our wonderful sponsor Dark Angel Contracting!

Yes, we are alive.
Yes, BSidesDFW 2023 is happening.
Yes, we are having technical difficulties.
We cannot tell you much at this time. However, we can tell you that we are progressing. We hope to have a venue announcement soon, and this is critical to scoping everything else that can possibly happen.
We thank you for your patience and understanding.
So as many of you embark upon the high desert for hacker summer camp, ask yourself "what can I unleash at BSidesDFW?". We look forward to seeing you all in Nov.
