BSides Tampa 2019

This past Saturday (Feb 2nd), the 2019 BSides Tampa Conference was held.

In a change from past years, they've moved to a new venue, the Embassy Suites on the USF Campus.  The 2020 Conference will also be held there, apparently on February 29th.

This year there were about 8 tracks of talks, including one for job seekers.  There were many vendors in attendance as well as several infosec groups.  The Tampa Bay chapters of ISSA, ISC(2), and IAPP were in attendance, along with a couple of universities with infosec programs.

I spoke again on the topic of updated and upcoming frameworks, standards, and regulations for infosec people.  I'll be posting separably on that talk with links to information I spoke of.

Overall, I thought the event went great.  Sadly, due to other issues, this year I flew in that morning and left that evening, so missed out on the dinner the night before for speakers and couldn't hang around for the afterparty.  Maybe next year.
