Opening Note

B-Side Delhi team, I would like to welcome all of you to this first edition of B-Side Delhi. I think this deserves a huge round of applause. So how many of you

know about B-Side? Anybody? Wow, one. There are some people who know about B-Side. People who are unaware what B-Side is, I'll just give you some high level details and know what B-Side does. and what is B-SIDE exactly is.

Anyways, move on. So B-SIDE is a community driven framework which is organized by volunteers. It's a volunteer based event. It has 60 plus event around the globe. Unfortunately, this was not happening in India. So we thought of bringing this to you. in India and we are starting with Delhi. Hopefully we will go to other cities also, but we are starting with Delhi right now. There are few very famous B-sites. B-site Las Vegas, London, DC, San Francisco and many more. And I am sure if I will get a safe kind of support and participant from you guys, we will be there in that place soon. Each B-sites run differently, independently, and the key is to increase participation and give learnings to all the participants

for joining that B-Fight community. This is our first year and thank you guys, thank you very much. We are completely sold out. We had to stop our registration yesterday, noon time, because we were completely full. We were not expecting that, but thank you for showing that support to us. Now you are going to have two keynote sessions which will be happening in this main hall. Then there will be talks, workshops, village, bounty range and exhibitions. If you want to attend workshops, I request you to reach at the hall as soon as possible because there are limited seats. And you need to be aware of the prerequisites of the workshops too. Before I go to the ground rule, so B-side, so we

were sitting in a bar, I think a year ago, and somebody gave us that idea that there is a B-side event which is happening in across the Grove and Why Not Delhi. And we said, okay, we'll think about it. And here we are today in B-Side Delhi. There are two ground rules for the event. Please silence all your things. I know you, what all those things are. Mobile phones, especially. Respect speakers, volunteers, organizers, and fellow participants. Adair to code of conduct. Participant and be nice to each other and enjoy. Have a great learning experience. Have a great learning day. I would like to stop here. I won't take you much of time. Before I go down, I would like to announce and

call upon our first keynote speaker, who is the guy who gave us that idea that we should have B-Side Delhi at that bar a year ago. He is also a European Security Block winner and he is none other than CISO of Publicis Group, Mr. Tom Langford.
