A massive shout out and huge thank you to our fabulous MVP Cooper, the amazing videographer who films countless BSides conferences across Europe and the UK. These conferences wouldn’t be the same without your incredible work!
Villages & Competitions
The Villages and other stalls and attractions have been an integral part of BSides Leeds from the start. We believe we were the first UK Conferences to have Car Hacking, Mental Health and Retro Computing villages and the Scavenger Hunt has become an integral part of what makes BSides Leeds so much fun.
