BSides Buffalo is a grassroots, community-driven information security and technology conference held annually in Buffalo, NY. Our sixth event will be on June 5, 2027 at Canisius University, in the Science Hall building on Main Street.

Like most BSides events, we welcome speakers on security and hacking topics, ranging from offensive security techniques to building a better blue team. Additionally, we have a “hacking is art” track for people who want to speak about creating art with free or repurposed tools, as well as the “Introsec” track for content aimed at attendees who are new to the field or considering a career switch.

We’ve also got the other activities you’d expect – a Capture the Flag competition, soldering, lockpicking, stickers, tshirts, swag, vendors, and general hacker shenanigans. Come join us!
