The organizers have been hard at work behind the scenes getting BSides Roanoke 2026 ready for its big return after our non-profit hiatus. We are incredibly excited, a little exhausted, and honestly? We’re ready for a frosty beverage with the community.

Join us on May 14th at 6:00 PM for a casual social at Starr Hill Pilot Brewery & Side Stage. There’s no agenda and no formal presentations; just a great opportunity for the local infosec scene to hang out, swap stories, and catch up on everything we’ve been building for 2026.

📅 The Essentials

• Date: Thursday, May 14th
• Time: 6:00 PM
• Location: Starr Hill Pilot Brewery & Side Stage
• Vibe: 100% Social. Networking, shop talk, and BSides hype.
