Training 15th Nov
Conference 16-17th Nov.

Rewind back to November last year, big yell out to Thomas Hingant for taking up the challenge of being our offical video photographer over our 2-day event.

If you didn't get a chance to attend @bsidesmelbourne last year (or did attend), sit back and enjoy these awesome highlights.

Thanks again to all our volunteers who make the impossible possible.

One more non-obvious thing for conference speakers:
- use personal email address (instead of work email) when you submit your talk to the CFP system.

Just in case your employment status change between the time you applied to speak and the time you're scheduled to speak. This assumes you still want to speak regardless of your employment affiliation.

Sometimes it's not actually easy for the organizers to change your email address on their end 😰

#BSidesMelb2024 is over for another year! Thank you to all who participated, helped and made it such a special event. Looking forward to the next one, but in the mean time there are loads of local meetups and other conferences to keep the party going.
@sashatheflamingo @bsidesmelbourne Love this. BSides Melbs is def on my to-do list!

Oh, Melbourne… how do I even begin to say goodbye? These past two days have been nothing short of magical. From strutting my flamingo flair on stage to soaking up all the amazing talks, stickers, and smiles, I’ve never felt more at home.

Tomorrow, I’ll take flight back to Chicago, but my heart? My heart stays right here with all of you. This isn’t the end—it’s just the start of another countdown until I return next year to do it all over again, bigger and better.

Keep the flamingo spirit alive, Melbourne—you’ve made me the happiest bird in the world. šŸ¦©šŸ’–āœØ #FlamingoFarewell #BSidesMelbourne #IllBeBack @bsidesmelbourne

Thanks to the team at TheBigBrick in Bayswater (https://www.thebigbrick.com) for helping us create an excellent gift for our speakers and VIPs for this year's conference.

Sydney, you’ve been a whirlwind of fun, but @rnbwkat and I are spreading our wings for BSidesMelbourne! Last night was pure magic at Bar Tottis: the team and I dived into the finest tequilas, polished off mouthwatering bites, and even got VIP treatment from Jessie the manager, who remembered my last flamingo adventure there in May! Who says flamingos can’t live the high life? Now it’s onward to Melbourne’s madness, because, honestly, there’s no city quite like it! šŸ¦©šŸ„‚āœØ @bsidesmelbourne #BSidesMelbourne #FlamingoWithAMemory #TequilaAndTales

šŸŽ‰ SURPRISE, MELBOURNE! šŸŽ‰ It’s me, Sasha the Dancing Flamingo, and I’ve landed back in one of my favorite cities for one of my absolute favorite BSides!

Melbourne, you know I love you—where else can a flamingo strut her stuff, mingle with tech wizards, and throw down the dance moves? I'm here to prance, pose, and sprinkle a whole lot of pink pizzazz across every corner of this con! Whether it’s treasure hunts, tech talks, or sneaky snapshots, I’m ready for ALL the shenanigans.

Melbourne, get those cameras and dance shoes ready—Sasha’s back in town, and this party's just getting started! šŸ¦©šŸ’ƒšŸ’„ #FlamingoTakeover #BSidesMelbourne #SashaIsBack @bsidesmelbourne #SashaTheFlamingo
