Hack The Box Meetup – RGV | Kickoff Session

We’re excited to kick off the first Hack The Box meetup in the Rio Grande Valley, hosted by RGV Cyber.

This event is a hands-on, community-focused cybersecurity meetup centered around learning, collaboration, and connection. While the exact activities may vary, expect a mix of:

  • Light hands-on exploration using the Hack The Box platform
  • Group discussion and knowledge sharing
  • Casual walkthroughs, demos, or problem-solving
  • Time to network with others interested in cybersecurity

This meetup is designed to be low-pressure and beginner-friendly, while still offering value to those with more experience. The goal is to start building a consistent local space where people can learn by doing and learn from each other.

### Who should attend:

  • Students and beginners exploring cybersecurity
  • IT professionals looking to grow technical skills
  • Security practitioners who want to connect locally
  • Anyone curious about hands-on security learning

### What to bring:

  • 💻 Laptop (strongly recommended for hands-on participation)
  • 🔌 Laptop charger
  • 🧥 Sweater or jacket (the room may be cold)
  • 🧠 Curiosity and a willingness to learn

No prior Hack The Box experience is required. You’re welcome to come observe, participate, or just network.

This is the first of many meetups—we’re building a long-term cybersecurity community here in the RGV.
