In the first four years, BSides Canberra proudly supported
Hackers Helping Hackers by providing complimentary
tickets and board involvement to assist their cause. Unfortunately, we were deeply saddened by the
discontinuation of this remarkable initiative. However, this setback inspired us to take action. In
response, we established our own Assistance Program specifically for BSides Canberra 2020, which we
are delighted to announce has been an ongoing success. We are thrilled to continue offering this
program in subsequent years, as part of our commitment to fostering inclusivity and accessibility
within our community.
What does the program entail?
We are pleased to present two levels of financial assistance for those attending BSides Canberra.
The availability of each tier depends on the generosity of our sponsors and the funding allocated by
the conference organizers. It's important to note that the assistance program provides financial
support only.
