Meetups:
Our monthly social meetup is the heartbeat of the RVAsec community. No talks, no slides—just a relaxed chance to connect with others in the local security scene over drinks and good conversation. Everyone’s welcome, whether you're a seasoned pro or just curious about the field.
Beyond that, we also host topic-focused meetups throughout the year. These can include technical workshops, vendor presentations, roundtables, lightning talks, or special interest gatherings—organized by and for the community.
