After an amazing second year, we knew we needed to grow the team so wek asked the community for help. We had so many offers and we really appreciate everyone who messages and offered their support we were really blown away. Unofrtunately that means we weren't able to bring everyone on board but don't worry there will be lots of other opportunities to still get involved including our paper selction commitee, menotring, event day volunteers and more. Without further ado, we are excited to introduce the new committee for BSides Cheltenham 2024.
