Society of Hackers is a free monthly series of technical cybersecurity talks open to active and aspiring industry practitioners. Each event will feature a series of 5 to 15 minute lightning talks followed by a 30-60 minute keynote presentation on topics such as adversarial AI, computer vision, neglected tech industry histories, FPGA/hardware hacking, ICS/OT security, and much more. Talks will follow Chatham House Rules, and the ideal participant will be hungry to learn, eager to share their own knowledge and experiences, and ready to check their ego at the door. Come hear from the next generation of industry rockstars - maybe you'll be one of them!
*Priority for keynote talks will be given to people who are not white, who are not cis men, and/or have yet to obtain their first full-time job in the cybersecurity industry.*
