Silent Auction & Raffle
BSides Las Vegas has proudly raised tens of thousands of dollars for our charity partners over the years through our annual silent auction and raffle. Items donated by sponsors, individuals, and BSides Las Vegas await your viewing at the table in Middle Ground during the conference. They are the true essence of generosity and the strength of our community spirit.
