Sponsorship – BSides Kristiansand

BSides Kristiansand is a community-driven cybersecurity conference focused on practical knowledge sharing, learning, and building strong local and regional security communities.

We are a non-profit, volunteer-organised event. Sponsorship directly supports venue costs, catering, speaker support, student participation, and hands-on activities such as workshops and badge hacking.

Sponsorship at BSides Kristiansand is transparent, respectful, and non-intrusive.
