🦩 Darlings. It’s me. Sasha.
And I’m here to remind you that the #BSidesChicago #CFP is open—but only until July 31.

Do you have a story to tell? A lesson learned the hard way? A demo that blew up in your face before finally working at 2am? PERFECT. Submit it. We love talks with heart, talks with chaos, and talks that actually teach us something!!

🎤 Workshops = Oct 31 (yes, Halloween—costumes encouraged)
🎤 Main Conference = Nov 1 (aka the day we set the Hilton on 🔥 with knowledge and glitter)

We welcome first-time speakers, returning favorites, the quietly brilliant, the hilariously chaotic, and everyone in between. If you’re passionate about something in security (or security-adjacent), we want you on our stage.

👉 Apply now: https://sessionize.com/bsideschicago-2025
💅 No feathers required, but attitude helps.

Trust me: you do NOT want to wait until the last minute. I’ve seen it. It gets ugly. (Flapping in panic is not a cute look.)

Let’s make 2025 fabulous. Again.
– Sasha 💖 @bsideschicago
