# What is BSidesVarazdin?

BSidesVarazdin is a vendor neutral technical information security symposium in Croatia.

We strive to be a place where professionals and hackers regardless of gender, race or background can meet on neutral ground and exchange ideas and knowledge, and discuss current topics, trends and problems in the broad topic of information security.

At 16.5.2024 (Thursday) - Park Boutique Hotel Varaždin. Our schedule for 2024 is posted here.

We want intellectual sustenance, we do not want only form, fear mongering or sales pitches. We want high quality content, knowledge, experience and expertise to be shared with our attendees. We want to hear the latest thoughts and points of view from professionals, freelancers, consultants, governmental and law enforcement branches to hackers of all hat colors from a neutral, unbiased perspective.

When we say vendor neutral, we don’t mean we dislike businesses or people that work professionally in the area of information security, we know no one wants sales talks when they want to educate themselves and network. We do want businesses to show off on what they are doing and their expertise.

Unfortunately, our CFP is closed.

We see BSidesVarazdin as neutral ground, a place to exchange ideas and knowledge. We will always strive to provide our attendees with high quality lectures without sales pitches.
