BSides Prague
is an annual community-driven information security conference held in Prague. The event provides a platform for cybersecurity professionals, enthusiasts, and researchers to share knowledge, exchange ideas, and discuss the latest trends in the field. It's a unique opportunity to connect with like-minded individuals, expand professional networks, and stay informed about the ever-evolving cybersecurity landscape.
Theme for 2026: The Next Frontier
We're at the edge of The Next Frontier, where technology isn't just advancing it's truly taking off. Just like the ancient legend of the Golem, brought to life to protect but challenging its creator, today's smart systems are striving for autonomous self-improvement. This isn't merely evolution, it's a revolutionary leap towards a profound, perhaps singular, change where our creations gain unprecedented autonomy. As powerful systems become omnipresent, vigilance is critical. This frontier demands we anticipate and fix problems before they begin. BSides Prague 2026 invites you to explore how to secure this unfolding future. We'll draw wisdom from our past, from stories like our own Golem, to guide us. Join us to collectively define and protect what lies just beyond the horizon and where else but in Prague, the very place that gave the world the word "robot"?
