2026 brings two new ticket options to attend: The Backer and Pay What You Want. While many of us are professionals able to expense our ticket price others of us are not in a place to do so right now. We welcome and support both. The community benefits from everyone participating.
Get your tickets on our Eventbrite page.
The Backer (available through July 1) This ticket price reflects the true cost of the event and can be thought of as being a self-sponsor. Backers enable the conference growing based on participant feedback. Please consider backing BSides Greenville if you are able to expense the ticket purchase. The Backer ticket includes the official BSides Greenville t-shirt and lunch.
Pay What You Want (PWYW) donation. The full cost per 2026 ticket is $70 but we recognize that does not work for everyone in our community for many reasons. PWYW ticket features are the same as those of late registration but open to donation. This is also a good way for those who have the means and want to give back to the community by funding the scholarship of others. A suggested minimum for Pay What You Want is $15 but the checkout donation field accepts lower. PWYW does not include a t-shirt.
Early Bird General Admission gives you full access to the BSides Greenville experience including the official t-shirt and lunch.
General Admission gives you full access to the BSides Greenville conference and is the standard ticket option after early bird sales end. Includes lunch but not the official t-shirt.
Late General Admission gives you access to the conference talks and XP hall but does not include official t-shirt or lunch. Late tickets are available after general admission ends through the event day.

Security BSides Greenville is a community-driven cybersecurity conference in Greenville, SC, USA built by practitioners, for practitioners. Unlike large commercial events, BSides focuses on accessible, real-world knowledge sharing in a relaxed environment where attendees can learn from peers, ask questions freely, and connect with others across all experience levels. You’ll find a mix of talks, hands-on sessions, and informal hallway conversations, affectionately called "hallway con". Whether you’re new to the field or a seasoned professional, a BSides conference creates a welcoming space to explore ideas and build skills as part of the local security community. Learn more about the BSides framework and global community.
Hallway Con is the unscheduled interactions that happen between sessions—conversations in hallways and shared spaces where ideas flow freely. It’s often considered the most valuable part of a Security BSides event because it fosters authentic connections, spontaneous problem-solving, and knowledge sharing free from the bounds of a formal talk. Hallway Con helps build community relationships beyond the event.
