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!
Join us for an exclusive, low-key happy hour in Pleasanton, hosted by the East Bay Cool Kids. This is a dedicated space to decompress, grab a drink, and discuss what truly mattered (and what was just AI-washed hype) from the desert.
The Rules of Engagement
To maintain a high-value and high-trust environment, this gathering is 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.
📍 Location: McKay's Taphouse & Beer Garden, 252 Main St, Pleasanton, CA 94566, USA
