CitySec is an unaffiliated collection of informal meetups for like-minded security professionals. CitySec groups meet to discuss topics of interest in a non-work, non-vendor setting; preferably while drinking.
CitySec meetups are like any other professional society meeting, except:
- There's no professional society
- There's no membership
- There's no dues
- There's no cover charge
- There's no corporate sponsorship
- There's no vendor pitches
- There's no requirement to RSVP
- There's no fixed agenda
- They're publicly announced and open to all
The purpose of this list is to provide an unofficial, centralized database of CitySec meetups. We make no guarantees regarding the accuracy of this information. Meetings have a habit of dying off for periods of time if there isn't a strong organizational structure; if this happens in your area, consider taking charge and revitalizing your local meetup.
No Meetup Near You?
If there are no current meetups in your area but you know of interested parties, organize a beta meetup. Invite the people you already know (and ask them to invite interested friends & coworkers) to a public location that (preferably) offers food, drinks, and wifi. If it goes well and you decide to continue running meetups, create a website, mailing list, and/or Twitter account to announce meeting reminders, then submit the information to this list.
