At the beginning of March, BSidesLjubljana organization team decided to postpone the planned event for 4th April until autumn due to the new coronavirus outbreak. After continuously monitoring COVID-19 situation, we are sad to inform you about our decision to ** fully cancel BSidesLjubljana 0x7E4 (2020) **.
In one of the backup plan scenarios we were also considering of going virtual as some of the similar events did in new COVID-19 reality, but BSidesLjubljana was built on full in-person experience and happening on the event, beyond just great talks and workshop presented, from all networking; all on-site competitions going on, including Capture the Flag; 1:1 knowledge exchange between participants and we believe this is why our BSides event is so genuine and unique and cannot be done virtually.
Because the situation is still very unpredictable in organizing live events, we realized organizing BSidesLjubljana this year would be too risky or even impossible to our standards.
We hope the situation will get better by the end of the year and we can start organizing a great BSidesLjubljana 0x7E5 (2021). We want to THANK: speakers for submitting their papers and willing to contribute to an amazing event; sponsors for support and willing to make this event possible; all the fans and other participants for helping spread the word; everyone who got supporter tickets (please send us an email to refund[at]bsidesljubljana[dot]si for refund).
Thank you for your understanding and we hope you stay healthy!
