First Network Meetup

Hey everyone,
I’m excited to kick off a new local Meetup group for Network Administrators, Network Engineers, and anyone interested in networking, automation, and security here in the Tampa Bay area.
This first meetup is all about getting to know each other, sharing experiences, and talking shop.
👨‍💻 What we’ll cover:
• Introductions – who you are and what you’re working on
• Current challenges in networking (real-world problems)
• Automation & security trends (Python, Ansible, SIEM, etc.)
• Open discussion / Q&A
💡 Whether you're:
• Studying for certs like CCNA
• Working in IT and looking to level up
• Building home labs (Cisco, Juniper, etc.)
• Interested in network automation or cybersecurity
You’re welcome to join.

🎯 Goal of this group:

To build a strong local community where we can learn, share knowledge, and grow together as network professionals.
