Security BSides 312 Chicago's Non-Profit Hacker Conference
BSides312 is a nonprofit one-day conference run by longtime members of Chicago's hacking and infosec community. In fact, many of them founded the original BSides Chicago! It's built as a collaborative venue: whether you hack hardware, excel at logistics, or just bring curious friends, you help shape the conversation.


Like every BSides event, the conference follows a community-driven model built by and for hackers. Its purpose is to widen the conversation beyond the usual boundaries, offering space for people to both present and take part in an intimate, collaborative setting. The result is an intense mix of discussions, demos, and interaction where new ideas take shape.
If you and your organization are as passionate about the security community as we are and would like to sponsor our event, please reach out questions [@] bsides312.org. To show our thanks, sponsors will be welcome to chat about themselves and their organization, fostering connections with the BSides312 community.

Lodging
Chicago is not known for being dense with large hotels, and the ones that are here certainly are not cheap. AirBNB may be your best bet.
We are nearby the CTA Blue Line train, which we very highly recommend the use of. This means you can stay anywhere within walking distance of the line and have a good experiences getting to and from the con area, 24 hours a day. The line goes all the way out to the suburbs, so you will likely find cheaper lodging out there (Try the Rosemont area).
If you're driving, the world is your oyster.
