The Boston area has one of the most diverse information security ecosystems in the world. Over the past several years our local community has been increasingly underserved and misaligned, so we are trying to do our part by organizing a monthly meetup (and more).
Meet us at Gather Town! Don a virtual avatar and listen to talks as if at a live conference and network with fellow people in separate one-to-one talks that you can walk in and walk out as you would do in the real world!
