Each BSides is a community-driven framework for building events for and by information security community members.  The goal is to expand the spectrum of conversation beyond the traditional confines of space and time.  It creates opportunities for individuals to both present and participate in an intimate atmosphere that encourages collaboration. It is an intense event with discussions, demos, and interaction from participants. It is where conversations for the next-big-thing are happening." 

The purpose of BSides Boise is to build a security community in the Treasure Valley that combines Technologists, IT people, Hackers, Makers and Engineers.
