BSides Ottawa is happening on November 19–20 at the Ottawa Conference & Event Centre.
BSides Ottawa is a grassroots, enthusiast-driven, volunteer-run event, built by the community, for the community. It’s about sharing knowledge, making connections, and strengthening cybersecurity skills.
This year brings together first-time and established speakers, hands-on cybersecurity villages, and a two-day Capture the Flag competition. Whether you’re just getting started or have years of experience, there’s something for you at BSides.

All tickets cover both days:
Student & Jobseeker — CA$40
Talks and villages. Excludes meals, t-shirt, swag, and CTF. Limited availability.
General Admission — CA$100
Talks and villages, lunch, snacks, refreshments, and a t-shirt while supplies last. Excludes CTF.
General Admission + CTF — CA$150
Everything included in General Admission, plus the two-day CTF, a special CTF t-shirt, a challenge coin, and chances to win prizes. CTF spots are filling quickly!
If student passes sell out, cost is still a barrier, or you are curious about learning more, please reply. I’d be happy to share a 10% discount code if helpful, or help answer any questions!
