For the first time, our legendary BSides Canberra Friday Night Networking Party will feature live performances to go with the great conversation, cold drinks, and relaxed vibes.
Headlining is YTCracker - the MC, DJ, and pioneer of Nerdcore hip-hop, known for his Nintendo-inspired NerdRap Entertainment System album and performances at DEF CON, Players Ball, and alongside the likes of Snoop Dogg, Xzibit, and Ice Cube. Joining him are Australian rap talents DNZ and Rival, bringing fresh local energy to the stage.
There’ll be a bar tab, food available for purchase, and plenty of space to connect with friends old and new. It’s the perfect way to unwind after a big Friday at BSides Canberra and get energised for another full day of talks, workshops, and competitions on Saturday.
The BSides Canberra Organising Group is a volunteer team passionate about growing Australia’s cyber security community. Since 2016, they’ve built BSides Canberra into the country’s largest hacker conference - while keeping it community-focused, technically deep, and welcoming.
Outside the conference, the team supports year-round learning and connection through events like CSides and initiatives that promote diversity and inclusion in cyber.
