🚨 ALERT 🚨 - ALL you amazing people who VOLUNTEERED for @bsidesmelbourne

All selected volunteers have now been notified. Over 100 people wrote in, an amazing result, and totally consistent with our BSides Melbourne community vibe. But we have uniquely stuffed up. In our excitement to release this year’s form, we managed to delete the all-important “email field” to communicate with each of you personally. We apologise for that.

If you haven’t had a call or LinkedIn (or carrier pigeon!) message from us, then we regret to say that you haven’t selected as a volunteer. It also means that your best chance to attend BSides Melbourne 2026 is to buy a ticket when they go on sale this Friday 27 March at 12 noon AEDT.

We apologise again for this mistake, and hope to see you at our event.
