The wait is nearly over, the first ever BSides Liverpool is at hand. Listen in as the organising crew chat about the trials and tribulations of getting to this stage, when they stop being quite so childish. Pay attention though as there are reminders to what you need to do and bring, depending on who you are.  There are thanks aplenty for those who've agreed to help out on the day, without which this would not be taking place.  They also give themselves the chance to say what they are looking forward to seeing too.  To follow what we are doing and get the latest news try Twitter, where we are @BsidesLivrpool and the website by clicking this link here.
