Look for folks in these cool pink vests (not goons, just friendly volunteers for our community happy to answer questions).

Photo of of the opening of Mat Caplan's talk in compliance at bSides Leeds. Slide says "Stop Making Nonsense”, there are a lot of backs of heads in fron of me.

Some not very good photos from @bsidesleeds.bsky.social
It was lovely to see so many people after such a long time, and to give @mintynet.com IRL ((hugs)) rather than virtual.
Thanks again to the organisers, volunteers, speakers, and sponsors for making this fantastic event happen. Met lots of wonderful people (new and old), saw some great talks, and had a load of interesting chats. If you've never been to a BSides, get yourself down to one, they are excellent events.
Morning coffee in hand as normality returns after another great @bsidesleeds.bsky.social
Theme of closing panel discussions was Community - for me, encapsulated by meeting Mr Awkward Hugs himself @jaysonstreet.bsky.social IRL ~2 decades after sharing random various messages in online forums
Me in front of the sponsors slide showing Sainsburys
Most of the tired and emotional organisers doing the closing remarks at the end of the day.
Panel of lovely humans discussing all things cyber.
3 very happy people in green volunteer tshirts with ice creams.
Had an awesome time volunteering at @bsidesleeds.bsky.social yesterday. Managed to catch most of @jaysonstreet.bsky.social brilliant keynote, and thanks to the incredible @ministraitor.bsky.social I can catch up on what I missed later.
The rest of the day is a heart swelling blur. 🥰
Thank you message, to the speakers, volunteers, sponsors, CFP review panel, and speaker mentors
And that's a wrap! Thank you all. ❤️
