The BSides London team is actively monitoring the situation as it relates to COVID-19 (Coronavirus) and the United Kingdom. Currently, there are no plans to cancel our June event (2nd and 3rd).

However the situation is evolving rapidly and we will be monitoring official information sources and working in conjunction with the venue.

The latest information from the UK Government can be found here [https://www.gov.uk/guidance/coronavirus-covid-19-information-for-the-public]. The government has also released an action plan that can be consulted here [https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/coronavirus-action-plan/coronavirus-action-plan-a-guide-to-what-you-can-expect-across-the-uk#our-response-to-the-current-coronavirus-outbreak]

We recommend you also check the WHO official information as well; viewable here [https://www.who.int/emergencies/diseases/novel-coronavirus-2019]

In the meantime, if you are attending an event please follow these helpful tips:

  • Please refrain from attending if you are sick or think you may become sick during the event.
  • Please refrain from attending if you are immune compromised or are in regular close contact with those that are immune compromised.
  • Try to reduce contact with other attendees, such as handshakes.
  • Wash or sanitize your hands often and refrain from touching your face.
  • When coughing or sneezing cover your mouth using your sleeve, elbow, or inside your shirt.

If you have submitted a presentation, workshop or other activity and won’t be able to make it due to travel restrictions:

  • Please let us know as soon as possible. We will understand if you need to withdraw and remove your submission. Your health and well-being are the upmost priority for everyone.
  • We will do our best to communicate any changes that could occur if the situation with the venue, advice from the UK government, or other factors related to the pandemic as quickly as possible.

The situation evolving daily. We appreciate your patience and understanding.
