I had a mentoring session last night with a poc I’ve been working with who went to his first local cybersecurity con, recently. He had such a bad experience with people being cliquey there and ignoring him that he’s ready to stop trying to get into the industry. 😥😰 I knew there are some cultural issues at that con and area but had no idea they were so bad, and encouraged him to maybe look at other cities in the US and their cons. Pitch your city’s infosec community and scene and I’ll share with him?
@hacks4pancakes we’ve got LayerOne and ShellCon(hopefully back soon) in LA. OWASP OC is inviting. IVU in orange country is great.
We’ve also got very good tacos. That sells me by itself :)
