What are Demo Reels?

Demo Reels is the former YXESec, now rolled under the BSidesYXE umbrella!

This allows us to help build the community in a better way, while maintining the cozy environment we’re all used to at YXESec.

It’s a great place to “demo” your talk to a smaller group, get feedback, and be ready for a bigger conference (maybe BSidesYXE 😉 )

Who’s speaking this month?

Patrick Kelley will be speaking with us about Mental Health and Burnout in Cybersecurity this month.
