A few questions:
1. How many of these things will be roaming alone, undefended and minding their own lawful business around the city?
2. How much is it to hire the Crucible?

We'd like you to cancel your ticket to #BSidesLDN2025
Seriously, we do!

But only if you can't come, someone else can actually use the ticket & it will not be wasted.
Much effort goes into the event, and many opportunities created for all to benefit from, so don't be that person!

#BSidesLDN2025 is just two weeks away!
If you can’t attend, please cancel your ticket on Eventbrite so someone else may go.

Tickets are only available via Eventbrite.
Please don’t message us asking us for a ticket, we simply cannot allocate tickets any other way.

Thanks for your understanding!

I had a Polestar, their keys go inactive if not moved for a while so they are deploying that already

Whilst the 'Call' teams are reviewing all the proposals, we felt now would be a good time to remind of our massively under used mailing list!
We will be sending some mails out in the run up to #BSidesLDN2025 with some useful info, so sign up!
