Post-Black Hat Decompression: East Bay Cyber Practitioner Happy Hour

​Did you survive the sensory overload of Black Hat? Or did you wisely skip the Vegas heat and stay home?

​Either way, pull up a chair.

​On Tuesday, August 11th, the East Bay Cool Kids are hosting an exclusive, low-key happy hour in Pleasanton. This is a dedicated space to decompress, grab a drink, and talk about what actually mattered (and what was just AI-washed hype) from the desert.

​The Rules of Engagement

​To keep this high-value and high-trust, we are keeping this gathering strictly peer-to-peer:

• ​Who it’s for: CISOs, Directors of Cybersecurity, Security Architects, Security Engineers, Etc.

• ​Who it’s NOT for: Security vendors, business development reps, or anyone looking to scan a badge. This is a pitch-free, zero-selling zone.

​Come talk shop, share notes on current threat landscapes, and connect with other local leaders who actually run security programs—without having to commute to SF or the South Bay.
