Saturday night BSidesCharm held its annual chill out evening party with music from DJ Syntax (@syntax976). @SoberInCyber provided mocktails and non-alcoholic drinks while everyone enjoyed old-school video games and board games.

Each year BSidesCharm invites nonprofit and charity organizations to connect with the community. Thank you to HTCIA MidAtlantic, ISSA Central MD, Sober in Cyber, and WiCyS MidAtlantic. This year Gary the Piano Guy hosted PianoCon and raised $432 in donations for the ACLU.

We were excited to host many organizations at our Hiring Village this year. This jam-packed event included resume reviews, professional photography, breakout career talks from John Stoner and Jen Haverman, and recruiters speaking with hundreds of attendees.

We also want to thank our many speakers and trainers who came out to provide awesome material for all aspects of our industry. You can find the archive of recorded presentations on our YouTube page here:

We are incredibly grateful to Mr. Harry Coker for joining us as our keynote speaker. To an audience of hundreds he delivered an eye-opening talk on the government's role in cybersecurity, highlighting both successes and failures.

As a community we are able to come together with the support of our sponsors. This year we were proud to partner with amazing organizations who came to meet the community.

The BSidesCharm Graphics team had fun with our theme of “security through the ages" by designing badges in a variety of nostalgic and futuristic storage formats.
