SHARE YOUR KNOWLEDGE, PASSION, AND EXPERIENCE
BSidesSATX is soliciting submissions for an information security community conference in San Antonio, Texas on June 13th, 2026 at St Mary's University.
TALKS
WHO SHOULD SUBMIT?
This is a chance to share that thing you are really good at, just getting started with, or want to share your excitement about. Looking for 'The Next Big Thing' takes all kinds, so that means you. Yes YOU. The person reading this. If you find yourself here and aren't sure if you should submit, that's a definite sign that we want to help you get your start. BSidesSATX is a great place to submit your first presentation, we are local, community oriented, and encourage shared knowledge and experiences.
CONFERENCE TRACKS
While not limited to the following, your submission should loosely adhere to these themes:
Track 1: In the Future (Emerging Tech, AI and Automation, Seeing Round Corners) The ‘In The Future’ track will be the place we look out towards the tools, techniques, and procedures that will be shaping both offensive and defensive cyber activities. What’s just around the corner for our profession.
Track 2: In the Weeds (Advanced and In-Depth - Threats, Attacks and Defenses) Dive deep with ‘In The Weeds’ hyper focused and industry specific topics that peel back the layers of cyber security to reveal the details of how it’s done. Both from an engineering and leadership perspective.
Track 3: In the Fine-Print (Governance, Risk, Compliance and Policy (GRC)) New for 2026 ‘In The Fine Print’ provides a place to learn about and discuss the evolving policy, supply chain and global regulatory landscape. How to plan, log, monitor, and most importantly report on assessments & compliance obligations, whether industry related, or for broader governmental oversight.
Track 4: In the Beginning (People, Careers and Culture For The Curious) A BSides San Antonio track tradition, ‘In The Beginning' is just what it sounds like. Providing a safe space for first time presenters, learning the fundamentals, and keeping it simple. This is where the cyber security career for many began.
