Rapid-fire Networking by Topic
This month’s Cascade STEAM Cyber meeting is a topic-driven networking session designed to surface expertise, shared interests, and practical experience across our community.

We’ll start by quickly polling the room to understand who’s here and what people are working on — roles, interests, tools, challenges, and curiosities. From there, we’ll break into short, focused discussion groups around selected topics, rotating a few times so attendees can engage with multiple conversations.

Topics may include (and attendees are encouraged to suggest others):

• Home labs & personal projects
• The job search from both sides of the table
• Practical uses (and risks) of AI
• Incident response experiences
• Certifications: value & perspective

Practitioners are encouraged to bring a topic, challenge, or lesson learned they’d be willing to discuss.

6:45-7:00 - Wrap up and networking/social time
