conferences-meetup is where community members can discover cybersecurity conferences, meetups, summits, virtual events, and other professional gatherings—and connect with others who are attending.

Share events such as:

• Cybersecurity and CTI conferences
• Local security meetups
• Industry summits
• Virtual events
• Community gatherings
• Calls for papers or speakers
• CTI community meetups around larger events

Create one post per event and include the event name, date, location or virtual format, and an official event or registration link whenever available.

If you’re an organizer, sponsor, vendor, speaker, or otherwise affiliated with the event, clearly disclose your affiliation.

Use event posts to discuss sessions, share recommendations, see who else is attending, and coordinate community meetups.

For member safety:

• Meet other members in public event or venue spaces whenever possible.
• Never feel obligated to meet another member privately.
• Do not publicly share hotel room numbers, detailed travel plans, phone numbers, home addresses, or other sensitive personal information.
• Use official registration and ticketing links whenever possible.
• Be cautious of requests to send money for tickets, travel, lodging, or event access.
• Unsolicited sales, recruiting, or promotional DMs are not permitted.

If an event or interaction seems suspicious, stop engaging and contact the moderation team.

Research collaborations and community projects belong in #projects-collaboration, while vendor-focused or primarily promotional events belong in #vendor-corner.
