We understand that there are mixed feelings about the masking policy. It’s crucial to acknowledge these concerns and recognize that, despite our differing views, we are united by a common purpose—advancing privacy and information security.

We are here because we share a commitment to protecting our digital future. This conference is a vital platform for exchanging knowledge, forging partnerships, and driving innovation in our field.

Let’s not allow our differences over policies to distract us from the important work at hand. The insights we gain, the connections we make, and the solutions we develop here are far more significant.

Together, let’s focus on what truly matters: enhancing our skills, sharing our expertise, and collaborating to secure the digital world. Our unity in this mission is our strength.

Thank you for your support and understanding. Let’s make this conference a success, united in our shared goal.

After internal discussions, the staff and board of directors have decided that masking will be REQUIRED at BSides Las Vegas 2024 in all conference spaces.

We will have masks on hand for those who need them, and will make them available prior to entering into the main conference spaces at the Info Booth and Registration desks. In addition to requiring masking, we are also taking the additional step of placing air purifiers throughout the space during the conference.

While we are taking these steps within the areas we control, there are no such requirements for hotel staff or within public areas, including restaurants, bars, and common spaces (lobby, pools, gym, etc.)

In case of changes to this policy, the published policy with the latest date is controlling.
