Volunteer

BSides JAX runs on volunteers. Free conference pass, a crew shirt, and a seat inside the machinery.

[ recruitment // the crew ]

Run the ship with us

BSides JAX is 100% volunteer-operated. Without the crew, there's no event. In exchange: a free pass, a crew shirt, real access, and a front-row seat to how community cons actually work.

Full access to talks, villages, and the CTF. No ticket needed.

Crew swag + thank-you wall

Crew shirt, badge lanyard, and your name on the end-of-event thanks page.

Insider access

Meet organizers and speakers before the doors open. Green-room pass if shift allows.

Learn the machinery

See how a community con actually runs. Useful if you want to run one someday.
