​Enjoy a night with the Grand Rapids security community during GrrCON 2026 at the original HopCat, tucked into a historic building right in the heart of downtown, steps from Van Andel Arena and the Grand Rapids Art Museum. GrrCON draws some of the most hands on people in security, the ones who'd rather swap war stories over a drink than sit through another slide deck, and we want to buy the first round.

​Expect a relaxed night away from the show floor, an oversized wooden bar, comfortable seating, and the patio out back if the weather cooperates, plus people you actually want to talk shop with.

​Skip the cat and mouse for one night, we'll see you at the bar.
