Security BSides Amsterdam 2017

My passion for contributing to the information security community as much as possible, led me into getting myself involved with the formation of another information security conference. After a number of discussions, I decided to help out with putting together a Security BSides conference in the Netherlands. More specifically, the first ever Security BSides Amsterdam 2017 (www.bsidesams.nl) took place on Friday, 1/Sep/2017 in the heart of Amsterdam, at Zalen Pakhuis de Zwijger B.V. (dezwijger.nl). 

We tried to engage the Dutch information security community as much as possible as this was  our first attempt to make this conference a reality. We were very pleased to have so many speakers submitting a talk to the conference, and the support of OWASP and especially OWASP Netherlands. 

On our account on peerlyst you will find a list of all the talks of the day, along with their respective YouTube video. 

You can also find all of the videos on our YouTube channel, all combined in one playlist here. 

Of course, it would not be possible to make this event a success without the help of our volunteers. Their support and overall help throughout the day was of significant importance. They made sure everyone was having a great time and had everything running as smoothly as possible. The team was amazing and I really hope they enjoyed their time volunteering at the conference, as much I enjoyed their contribution to the event. 

On a personal note, a big Thank You to Rita Marie Nemetz, Andrea Stehrer, Valentine Mairet, Amit Khosla, Niels Tanis, Spyros Gasteratos, Antonis Manaras, and Jim for their personal efforts in making this event a success. 

Last but not least, a big Thank You goes out to all our speakers for submitting and delivering their talks, and of course to our sponsors. More specifically:
