# 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 23rd, 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! There are other perks of attending - cool handmade posters and, for our tenth year, there's a limited edition [Arduboy](https://www.arduboy.com/) that attendees can optionally purchase (until they run out).
* 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**
