Encrypted blob
Data Bank // Watch Log 01
The first watcher signs in before the room has settled. The monitors hum, the clock drifts, and a quiet packet lands where no packet should be.
Talks, hands-on villages, a CTF, sponsor hallway, and hallway conversations, plus an after party when the main event wraps

Data Bank // Watch Log 02
A second trace crosses the board. It looks routine until the timing slips, one beacon out of phase with the rest of the night.
Security practitioners, students, researchers, hobbyists, and curious builders. All experience levels welcome
Encrypted blob
Data Bank // Watch Log 03
The watch narrows the bearing. Behind the static is a pattern, five fragments moving through the dark under different callsigns.
Practical knowledge for Monday, new techniques from peers, and perspective from people doing the work in the region
Encrypted blob
Data Bank // Watch Log 04
Power flickers across the console and the channel goes thin. The only clean evidence left is what was captured before the signal died.
Affordable, community-driven infosec close to home. Meet Dayton-area defenders without the big-conference price tag or noise
Encrypted blob
Data Bank // Watch Log 05
At dawn, the handoff is simple: put the fragments in order, decode what the watch preserved, and prove the night was not empty.
[ TRANSMISSION ASSEMBLER ]
Combine all five encrypted blobs in NODE order, decode each segment, then submit the full uplink string.

BSidesDayton started in 2019 as a small volunteer-run event. We've held four conferences since then, and each one has added something new. Over time we added villages, a CTF, and an after party.
BSidesDayton is committed to creating a welcoming environment where everyone can learn, share, and participate without fear of harassment or discrimination. We expect all attendees, speakers, sponsors, volunteers, and organizers to treat others with professionalism and respect.
Harassment or exclusionary behavior is not acceptable in any form. If you experience or witness behavior that violates our code, please reach out to a staff member immediately.
