FLAMINGO ALERT! BSidesChicago 2025 is going TWO DAYS and you're NOT READY! 
Lock up your robot flamingos and hide your lock picks because on October 31-November 1, Chicago is about to experience what we're calling "The Flamingo-pocalypse" (trademark pending).
Last year, we BROKE THE CONFERENCE (in a good way)! People literally sat on the floor to catch talks. First-time lockpickers were popping locks like bubble wrap. Career Village had so many life-changing moments I needed tissues. And don't get me started on the GREAT FLAMINGO HUNT that had grown adults chasing down volunteers for intel!
For 2025, we're DOUBLING DOWN:
Day 1 (Oct 31): Workshops & Training (come in costume, we dare you)
Day 2 (Nov 1): Full Conference Extravaganza (this is where the chaos truly begins)
The legendary Chicago Hilton is bracing for impact and opening the bars early (10AM!) because sometimes security research requires... creative thinking!
IMPORTANT SECURITY NOTICE 
We strategically limit sponsorships so our sponsors aren't tucked away in a sad little vendor hall. Instead, they're placed near COFFEE and BARS because we know what really drives meaningful security conversations! (Sponsors, hit that link below FAST before spots vanish!)
What makes BSidesChicago different?
Two words: ELECTRIC. VIBE.
Where else can you find career-changing resume reviews, a maniacally fun CTF, lockpicking that's "PURE JOY" (direct quote), and a flamingo mascot with its own cult following?
As one 2024 attendee put it: "10/10 WOULD FLAMINGO AGAIN"
Start practicing your flamingo-spotting skills. Sasha the Dancing Flamingo and her robot flamingo army await your challenge!
