“See the world. Meet interesting people. Hack the planet.”

You don’t have to join the military or the Peace Corps. Just be ready, able and enthusiastic to DROP TABLE status_quo;– There’s nothing stopping you from living your dream except a little bit of information and that first step. Hack Java from Java, Indonesia. Drop O’Day from a Dublin pub. Run Kali from Cali, Colombia. Beau and Taylor want to engage the BSidesLV attendees with stories of our WINS and FAILS. We want to hear your stories and inspire you to live your dreams as we are doing. We’ll tell you what’s worked for us and give ideas for what might work for you. We’ll pay cab fare for anybody who heads straight to the airport to GTFO FTW!
