We’re working through selections for #BSidesLDN2025.
We received 217 Talk, 44 Rookie and 38 Workshop proposals from 264 people.
Not all can be chosen. If yours isn’t, it was still good but competition was fierce and slots limited.
We hope to have the schedule out in a few weeks.

Excellent work by everyone at @bsidesncl.bsky.social, don't under estimate the difference that money will make to their charity, the Bubble Foundation.

As we do this logo competition each year, and used to explicitly ask for people not to use AI, we can confirm that simply asking people doesn't work.
AI is here, people will use it, and so we have little option but to permit it.
We look forward to your submission, which we hope isn't AI generated.
