TODAY'S THE DAY!!! See you all soon! Safe travels to everyone. Check-in opens at 8:30, Welcome/Keynote starts at 9. UAB Hill Student Center, 3rd Floor. #Birmingham #Alabama #InfoSec #Security https://t.co/Fp1HiMH2kR
Who all is excited for #BSidesBirmingham tomorrow?!?! We're going to have a great day, thanks in part to our sponsors, @BrasfieldGorrie @Cisco and @nostarch https://t.co/HEuhQJBEf6
Sorry, didn't get a few social posts done today that I had planned. Had some things to take care of. #IYKYK
Come out to see us on Saturday (Oct 12) at BSides #Birmingham #Alabama hacker/information security conference. More info via our Linktree in our profile. #InfoSec https://t.co/Ka0Cq2PZvb
What's better than lunch? FREE LUNCH!!! We always have been able to provide lunch for the conference out of our general budget, but this year @Cisco @CiscoSecurity is sponsoring lunch as well as our all day Coffee, Hot Tea, and Infused Water. Thank them when you can #Birmingham https://t.co/4hdc0uTIWq
Ever heard of #HackerTracker ? I've been using it for years, it has been so handy for some of the big conferences I attend. Well, GUESS WHAT?!? #BSidesBHAM is now in #HackerTracker ! You now have options to view our schedule, whichever works best for you. Thanks HackerTracker https://t.co/VwJJHpFGDT
To follow-up on my previous parking post, I wanted to clarify (after verifying with UAB Transportation) a couple of items:
1) Street parking is free (meters are not enforced on the weekend).
2) Parking in the garage (https://t.co/l8cvuVEOuV ) is $3 1st hr, $1 each additional hr
I'm excited to say that @Optiv is again sponsoring our lanyards! When you get your badges on Saturday, you'll receive a nice lanyard thanks to the folks at Optiv https://t.co/5Gg051d1ZG
Stopped by UAB Hill Student Center Friday to verify some details with the venue. To my surprise, the paid parking lot I've always used for the event is now the base of a building. There is a new garage open North of the HSC if you don't want to street park. #Birmingham #Infosec https://t.co/8b46u7nadz
In addition to the wonderful lineup of speakers we have lined up (mentioned in a previous post), we are excited to announce that @BryanLSinger, a leading expert in industrial cybersecurity, will be our keynote.
I am excited to announce the list of our awesome speakers for this year!

We're going to go ahead and close out the Early Bird registration Wednesday night (Oct 2) at midnight. Tickets will still be available at a reasonable cost. Discounts for student/faculty tickets. I haven't closed out Volunteer signups yet, so free admission is still an option. https://t.co/7qBOxf1f4g
The first version of the schedule has been posted. It may shift around a bit, but hopefully this is pretty close. Early bird ticket closes soon, so hop on that if you want a discount.

Please give me ur feedback. Maybe this is a stupid idea, but with the lack of sponsorships we've been getting the past couple of years, this could be one way to help make up for it. Regardless of what u pay, we want to see you and look forward to welcoming all to the conference!
Currently it doesn't offer you any benefits other than that smug look you'll have after supporting a worthwhile cause and seeing the happy looks on everyone's faces at the conference.
There are ways to pay less. Early bird offers a discount, students get a discount, or volunteer for a free ticket. The point is, we want to make this accessible/affordable for all. There are options to pay less, and if you can and so desire, there are options to pay more.
So...the "new ticket type" I mentioned in the previous post. I decided to put a "Super Regular Ticket" on the menu. This ticket is a 'Name your price' offering, where if you want to go above and beyond, you can pay more than the minimum.
EARLY BIRD TICKETS ARE ON SALE!!! A couple differences from last year. 1) I kept the "regular" tickets available if you have the budget to support us, but just wanted an early ticket. 2) More info in next post about a new ticket type

Issues? Let me know https://t.co/qxDPu0doaP
@wesleytb13 I don't have it handy, I'm out of pocket right now, but check a couple of posts prior, the call for volunteers was posted.
CFP has closed. We'll be responding to speakers this week. Hopefully will have a schedule out soon after. All the talks look really good. We'll only have 1 track of talks this year. Also, we plan to post Early Bird tickets soon. As always, could use more sponsors and volunteers. https://t.co/Hb0XWm8nx3
Call for Volunteers is open! Not only do you get the satisfaction of helping put on an awesome event and giving back to the community, but you also get FREE admission! https://t.co/uZe0lihNnY #Birmingham #InfoSec
