2013 was the inaugural BSidesDC event. It took place at the Washington Marriott at Metro Center, on October 19-20, 2013. Expectations were exceeded across the board, as two tracks, for two days, as well as an educational track, a wireless village, an online CTF (capture-the-flag), and a lock sport village. Billed as the "Oktoberfest of B-Sides", an evening event was also held at the Iron Horse Tavern.

For a first-time event, BSidesDC exceeded all expectations, with 650 tickets, over 450 attendees, many volunteers, and a band of determined organizers. The numbers immediately made us the largest first-year B-Sides, and the third-largest B-Sides in the world, so far. We've also made our 2013 brochure available. It included a cipher puzzle; can you figure it out? Post your answer to our Facebook page!
