BSidesLuxembourg 2025 Call for Sponsors for the event on June 19th
Thank you for your interest in sponsoring the next edition of the Security BSides conference in Luxembourg (BSidesLuxembourg), after our last 2019 edition.
Get visibility into our unique target audience of cyber security industry professionals in Luxembourg and give back to the community.
Recent BSides conference successes here in Europe (BSidesMunich, BSidesLondon, BSidesCPH and so on), in the US and elsewhere around the whole planet have shown that the information security community continues to grow and along with it, the number of BSides events worldwide continues to increase, each event drawing a bigger crowd.
BSides events combine security expertise from a variety of platforms in search of the “next big thing” in information security. BSides is an open platform that gives security experts and industry professionals the opportunity to share ideas, insights, and develop longstanding relationships with others in the community. It is a rare opportunity to directly connect and create trusted relationships with key members of the community.
Although the event itself has only a small nominal cost for participants, the cost of hosting such an event is borne by the organizers. This package contains sponsorship information for BSidesLuxembourg in 2025. We have put together different levels of sponsorship and their benefits. Of course, the greatest benefit is that of giving back to the community and enabling others to grow and learn.
About Security BSides
What is Security BSides?
BSides is a community-driven framework for building events for and by information security community members. The goal is to expand the spectrum of conversation beyond the traditional confines of space and time. It creates opportunities for individuals to both present and participate in an intimate atmosphere that encourages collaboration. It is an intense event with discussions, demos, and interaction from participants. It is where conversations for the next-big-thing are happening.
History of Security BSides
BSides was born in 2009 when a number of quality speakers were rejected from a mainstream conference, not due to lack of quality but rather lack of space and time. Our mission is to provide people with options by removing common conference barriers and by providing more options for speakers, topics, and events.
-
2009: Launched in the United States.
-
2010: BSides breaks into the global space with the first European event.
-
2011: More than 30 events worldwide in US, Europe, India, Hong Kong, & Australia

BSides conferences goals
Promote Communication
BSides events act as a compliment to other area events by enabling long-tail spectrum that compliment the current or surrounding event. The goal of each BSides event is to provide a forum where communication and collaboration can continue while the level of conversation is able to increase.
While large mainstream conferences tend to focus on the current hot topics in information security industry, BSides events explore the fringe of conversation and focus on what could be the next big thing. Conversations have ranged from hardware hacking to gender issues, twitter hacking, and proximity-based identity theft. We aim to give a platform to the conversation that is happening just below the surface. Sponsoring enables you to engage in that conversation!
Reach the Target Audience
BSides reaches out to the industry professional looking to augment their industry knowledge with cutting edge conversations. Typically this includes industry leaders, thought leaders, security professionals, and even students who wish to expand their depth and body of knowledge and network. Attendees have a wide variety of backgrounds in multiple sectors and verticals with a shared goal: To learn about and discuss emerging security issues and connect with others already having the conversation.
BSides events format
Engage
Unlike other events where the speaker is rushed in and out, BSides provides a small and intimate environment for the attendees to directly engage the speaker before, during, and after their talk or presentation. BSides attendees are looking for more than just information; they are looking to make connections they will call upon throughout the rest of the year.
A list of prior speakers at BSides events includes: Desiree Sacher, Per Thorsheim, HD Moore, Dino Dai Zovi, Egyp7, Bruce Potter, Jack Daniel, and many more.
Culture
Traditional media exist as a constrained system that must operate within the bounds to which it has defines itself. Physical events constrain themselves with space and time but frameworks permit the continuous creation of individual events. Our goal is to provide people with options by removing those barriers and providing more options of speakers, topics, and events. The initial BSides event spawned a wave of new events throughout the United States and around the world.
Participation
BSides is not made up of members but participants. Everyone who participates in the events brings something to contribute. Some bring hardware, organizational skills, and others bring their friends to fuel the conversation. Sponsoring enables you to be a part of the conversation and interact with attendees. As our thanks, we are committed to connecting you with those attendees of interest to you and your business. By making your participation successful, organizers hope to enable future BSides events.
