About BSidesMKE

I imagine that right now, you’re feeling a bit like Alice. Tumbling down the rabbit hole? You have the look of someone who accepts their position because they don’t know how to create more. Ironically, that’s not far from the truth. Do you believe in fate, dear visitor?

Let me tell you why you’re here. You’re here because you know something. What you know you can’t explain, but you feel it. You’ve felt it your entire life, that there’s something more to the world. You don’t know what it is, but it’s there, like a splinter in your mind, driving you forward. It is this feeling that has brought you to us. Do you know what I’m talking about? Do you want to know what it is?

The potential for change is everywhere. It is all around us. Even now, on this very page. You can see it when you look out your window or when you turn on your television. You can feel it when you go to work, when you turn on your computer. It is the wool that has been pulled over your eyes to blind you from the truth. That change and growth are possible.

This is your last chance. After this there is no turning back. You leave this page, the story ends, you go on to the next page and you stay right where you are in life. You hit “register” and you stay in a land of wonder and we show you how growth and change are possible. Remember, all we’re offering is the truth, nothing more. Follow us.

BSides MKE began its journey in 2023 as an idea. An idea to create something special for the InfoSec community in southeastern Wisconsin. Too often, we become complacent in our professional lives. We accept what is the here and now and we don’t look beyond that. BSides MKE’s goal is to bring new ideas, new concepts and new experiences to the community. We need to resist complacency; we need to push ourselves and never stop evolving in our careers.

2025 will be our second year. We hope you can join the movement to grow beyond where you are now and become a part of something truly groundbreaking.
