# Call for Villages
BSides Knoxville 2026 is opening a Call for Villages. Villages are micro-conferences within the conference that provide hands-on, domain-focused environments for learning, collaboration, experimentation, and community building. If you or your organization would like to host a Village, we welcome proposals focused on a clearly defined discipline or area of security research.
Examples of Villages include OSINT, Recon, Social Engineering, Voting Machine Security, ICS/SCADA, Intelligence, AI/ML, Application Security, Hardware Hacking, Red Team, and Blue Team. (Note: Lockpicking Village proposals will not be accepted, as this is handled by an existing conference sponsor.)
Your Village proposal should outline the theme, goals, activities, anticipated requirements (space, power, tables, etc.), and any safety or ethical considerations.
To submit a proposal, include the above details and send them to the event organizers during the CFP submission window using this form with the type of presentation being **Village**. Villages will be selected based on educational value, community impact, feasibility, and alignment with BSides Knoxville's mission.
# About BSides Knoxville
For the local neighborly Scruffians, you know what you're getting into. It's a one-day conference that runs from 9 AM to 6 PM EDT. The speaker dinner will occur at 6:30 PM, on Thursday, May 21st, the day _before_ the conference.
For those of you that "ain't from 'round here", don't worry. Knoxville is a friendly, if scruffy, city and BSides Knoxville has a relaxed, come-as-you-are atmosphere.
Here are a few quick facts about BSides Knoxville that set us apart from other security conferences:
* Water, soda, and coffee are available for free all day.
* Each attendee gets two tickets for alcoholic drinks. You're on your own after that. Less than half of the attendees choose to drink, so don't worry if you're not into alcohol - you are the majority!
* Attendees receive t-shirts (if sponsored) and a cool handmade event poster, but speakers also receive an exclusive BSides Knoxville coffee mug.
* Each speaker gets to choose a personalized, walkout song! We feel this is a great way to get the presenter and crowd pumped up.
* Quiet, private speaker rooms are provided with extra snacks, drinks, and caffeine.
Tickets sell out every year (except for that one year we scheduled on the same day as CodeStock … oops). Last year's event had over 400 attendees. We're expecting 500 or more this year.
> **The event will be held at [Regas Square](https://www.regassquare.com/), 333 W Depot Ave, Knoxville, TN 37917, and [The Mill and Mine](https://themillandmine.com/), 227 W Depot Ave, Knoxville, TN 37917**

##What We Do
We host monthly interactive webinars focused on actionable advice that helps our members achieve their career and leadership goals. We want our audience to walk away from our events ready to implement the new things they learned so they can lead better, advance their careers, and stun their colleagues with their success and general business genius-ness.
##Speaking With Us
We want our speakers to have an excellent experience working with us. We work one-on-one with our speakers to produce high-quality talks that our audience loves. That means we'll pair you up with our Speaker Coach and help you craft your WIMDI Interactive Webinar into a thing of beauty that you can use again and again. We'll also record your talk and release it on our free YouTube channel so you get continued exposure after the event (and psst...you can use the recording to market your talk going forward! Amazing!)
We work with new and experienced speakers alike. Our WIMDI audience is amazing and supportive, so if you're afraid of getting boo'd off stage as a newbie speaker, no need to stress! We'll make sure we're cheering you on and helping you shine regardless of experience level. If you've got something interesting to say about career or leadership, then we're interested in hearing from you!
