BSides Aarhus

BSides Aarhus is a community-driven information security conference bringing together security professionals, researchers, and enthusiasts from across Denmark and beyond.

Founded as part of the global BSides movement, our conference provides a platform for sharing knowledge, networking, and building the security community in Aarhus. BSides Aarhus is more than just a conference – it’s a gathering place for infosec enthusiasts where innovation meets practical application. Our goal is to create an inclusive environment where all levels of experience are welcome, from students to seasoned security experts.

Why Aarhus? Aarhus is Denmark’s second-largest city and a hub for technology and education. With universities like Aarhus University and numerous tech companies in the area, the city is the perfect location for a security conference. BSides Aarhus bridges the gap between academia, industry, and the community, and promotes dialogue on offensive security techniques, defensive strategies, and emerging threats in the digital world.

Our conference stands out by being community-driven. This means the program is shaped by the community itself through our Call for Papers, where anyone can submit talk proposals. This ensures the content is relevant, current, and high-quality. We focus on practical topics in infosec, including penetration testing, incident response, cryptography, and more.

BSides Aarhus is also known for its accessibility. We offer free student tickets to support the next generation of security experts. The conference is designed to be affordable, both financially and geographically, with a location in the heart of Aarhus’s tech quarter.

Join us on June 20, 2026 at INCUBA Next, Katrinebjerg for a full day of talks, networking, and learning — all at an accessible price point.
