Hi, I was at B-Sides Ahmedabad. It was my first time in India.

For me personally the first day didn’t have cool presentations. But there were planty of free merch and interesting people to talk with (especially guys from Standoff Hacks and a representative from OffSec). So I liked it. But had to leave early since I wasn’t feeling well.

Event also had CTF tasks with good and fun prizes, but I was too tired to participate.

Second day had interesting presentations, the best presentation definitely goes to Abdullah Abbadi. The PT Swarm team (Andrei Sevostianov, Nikita Gnilozub-Volobuev, Alex Moshkov) also had great presentations, and we had some fun there. On top of that I liked the AI-agents automation presentation (can’t find speaker name). Orwa Godfather probably hitted main audience of this event with light bugbounty presentation.

Partners’ zone was too crowded. Toilets were in poor condition (and crowded).

## Conclusion?

Overall I liked it, but I would say traveling there is too much of a hussle, isn’t cheap and the 1st day isn’t worth it at all if you are here for BugBounty/RedTeam presentations. I wouldn’t travel there by myself without additional reasons or friends.

Another thing I didn’t like - there is no online list of presentations, so I had no idea what to expect from this conference.
