BSides Greenville - Participate

Ticket Types

Each ticket type has a purpose:

The Backer fuels conference growth. This ticket price reflects the true cost of the event. Think of it as being a self-sponsor. Backers enable the conference growing based on participant feedback. To name a few feedback growth items we are working toward, better signage and a larger venue with an improved layout flow. Please consider backing BSGVL if you are able to expense the ticket purchase. Includes the official BSGVL 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.

Early Bird General Admission gives you full access to the BSides Greenville experience including the official BSGVL 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.

Sample Expense Justification

Subject: Approval Request to Attend BSides Greenville conference as Professional Development

I am requesting approval to attend the local BSides Greenville information security conference as part of my professional development plan. BSides events are community driven cybersecurity conferences that focus on practical, real world topics delivered by experienced practitioners. The content is highly relevant.

Attendance will provide exposure to current attack methods, defensive controls, and operational lessons learned from peers across the industry. The sessions typically emphasize actionable insights rather than theoretical material, which allows for immediate application within our environment.

In addition to formal sessions, the conference provides opportunities to engage directly with other security professionals, sponsors, and practitioners. These conversations often show how similar organizations are addressing challenges. This perspective is difficult to obtain through traditional training alone.

The cost of attendance is modest compared to other industry conferences, while still delivering high value. The ticket includes full access to sessions, hands on security villages, and opportunities for professional networking. This makes it a cost effective option for continuing education.

Approval of this request supports ongoing skill development, strengthens our ability to respond to evolving threats, and reinforces our commitment to maintaining a strong security program.

Thank you for your consideration.
