BSides Bournemouth is returning on November 7th, 2026 at the Royal Bath Hotel. After a hugely successful debut in 2025, we're back! Bigger, bolder, and this year with a Halloween twist.
Inspired by the global BSides movement, BSides Bournemouth offers a grassroots platform for the cyber security community to connect, share, and grow. With over 960 BSides events held worldwide, these conferences are known for fostering inclusive, collaborative environments where experts and enthusiasts alike can network, learn, and dive deep into the latest in cyber security.
BSides Bournemouth 2026 is proudly organised by Bournemouth 2600, a local chapter of the global 2600 hacker community. Known for its regular meetups, Bournemouth 2600 brings together cyber security professionals, hackers, and technology enthusiasts. This dedicated team champions a collaborative atmosphere, placing a strong emphasis on knowledge-sharing, practical learning, and inclusivity.
Counting down... until the event!
