Събитието ще събере 550+ експерти, разработчици, създатели на дигитални преживявания и ентусиасти, обединени от интереса към киберсигурността, технологиите и човешкото поведение в онлайн среда. Поводът е и специален — **четвъртият рожден ден на КиберКЛУБ**, общност, която събира и развива активни хора в дигиталния свят. Фокусът ще бъде върху това как киберпространството се променя — от технологична платформа към среда, в която **вниманието и ангажираността на хората се превръщат в ключов фактор**. Ще разгледаме как игровите модели и геймификацията влияят върху начина, по който учим, общуваме и вземаме решения, както и как тези механизми се използват както за създаване на стойност, така и за влияние — включително от организирани киберпрестъпни групи. Паралелно с това ще обърнем внимание на реалните предизвикателства пред бизнеса, регулациите и ролята на човешкия фактор в сигурността. Ще засегнем и темата за дигиталната култура и онлайн безопасността — особено за деца и подрастващи — и как можем съзнателно да използваме дигиталната среда като инструмент за развитие, информирани решения и по-добра киберустойчивост. **Програма на събитието:** 19:00 – Откриване 19:07 - 19:20 – ***I Tried to Build an AI CISO… and Failed ***– Петър Пенев (КиберКЛУБ) 19:20 - 19:50 – ***Киберзаконът: какво (не)знаем ***– Деница Каналева (Fortinet), Никола Стойчев (DPC), Боян Янчев (LIREX BS), Младен Дрянков (ISACA Sofia Chapter) 19:50 - 20:02 – ***Why Your Browser is a Security Nightmare (And How to Actually Fix It) ***– Васил Генов (CLICO България) 20:02 - 20:15 – ***Организираната киберпрестъпност: новата индустрия*** – Борислав Ганцаров (Exclusive Networks Bulgaria) 20:15 - 20:25 – ***Милиони, направени с ирационално мислене*** – Цветан Русимов (CEO at Imperia Online) 20:25 - 20:40 – ***Критично мислене чрез видео игри*** – Мартин Кадинов и Александра Илиева (Гудгейм) 20:40 - 21:10 – ***КиберЗНАМ: Онлайн поколението без филтър ***– Димана Додова (КиберЗНАМ), Борис Гончаров (AMATAS), Васил Анастасов (DEVHUBONE), Тони-Теодора Косева (T'eachOne) 21:10 - 21:25 – ***Какво предстои в киберобщността*** – Антон Пулийски, Павел Георгиев 21:25 – **Торта и нетуъркинг** Вход свободен след регистрация - [https://www.eventbrite.com/e/4th-cyberclub-community-birthday-tickets-1980995576095?aff=oddtdtcreator](https://www.eventbrite.com/e/4th-cyberclub-community-birthday-tickets-1980995576095?aff=oddtdtcreator) Присъствието ще осигури 5 CPE (Continuous Professional Education) точки за всеки член на **ISACA Sofia Chapter**, **IIA Bulgaria**, **PMI Bulgaria Chapter** 4th CyberCLUB Community Birthday се организирана със съдействието на: **Telelink Business Services** , **Fortinet**, **BalkansWorks Ltd**, **Lirex COM**, **Exclusive Networks CEE**, **Palo Alto Networks**, **Devin JSC**, **ISACA Sofia Chapter**, **Dot.HELP - Human Layer Security**, **Sofia Investment Agency**, **CLICO Bulgaria**, Wines of Sakar, ВИНОnTheRoad, **Print.bg**, Topcho.bg, AnetFoto, **DiggerVideo**, **DevHubOne**, **КиберЗНАМ**, **CENTIO #CYBERSECURITY** Медийни партньори: Информационна агенция ФОКУС, **Profit.bg**, E-security, Pixelmedia.bg, Smartage.bg, Kreativen.com, Dronenews.eu, VRnews.info, **divna.Tech**, Zone4Tech, **Enterprise Magazine for small and medium businesses,** [Careerdailynews.com](https://careerdailynews.com,/), **Dir.bg** Организатори: **КиберКЛУБ и Cyber Security Talks Bulgaria (CSTB)** 🆓Събитията на КиберКЛУБ и Cyber Security Talks Bulgaria са винаги безплатни за посетителите.

* **About the event:** **Continuous Product Discovery & Targeted User Research** Building successful products requires talking to your users, but *how* and *when* you talk to them makes all the difference. Continuous discovery is your 15-minute product "health check." It does not replace proper feature-based user research, it complements it. Join us for a practical meetup where we will break down exactly when to use continuous discovery versus targeted user research, and how the two approaches work together to drive product strategy. We will share actionable frameworks for catching high-level UX feedback, validating direction, and knowing exactly when to transition into deep, area-specific research. **What We’ll Cover:** * **The Core Framework:** Understand the difference between a 15-minute continuous discovery session (a high-level health check) and targeted, feature-based research. Learn when to use which approach and how to prevent your discovery calls from turning into support tickets or therapy sessions. * **Smart Recruitment & Triage:** Stop relying on the loudest customers. Learn how to use Amplitude data, Account Managers, and Community channels to reach your *core* users. We will show you how to use discovery sessions to build a repository of "awesome users" triaged for later, deep-dive research. * **Interviewing Best Practices:** We will share real-life anecdotes on how to ask situational questions rather than leading questions like "would you use this feature?" * **Scaling with Automation & AI:** Learn how to automate your feedback sessions and leverage AI to synthesize notes, spot 80/20 pain points, and write up interview patterns. **Who Should Attend:** Product Managers, UX Researchers, Product Marketers, and Designers who want to optimize their user feedback loops. * **About the speakers:** Krassi is a Senior Product Manager at LucidLink, where she focuses on identity, access, and permissions. Before LucidLink, she spent nearly 8 years at Sitecore, leading product initiatives across identity, developer platforms, and Marketplace, with a strong focus on developer and user experience. She’s particularly passionate about user experience through continuous product discovery - running customer interviews, uncovering real needs, and turning insights into products that solve meaningful problems. Igor is a Senior Staff Product Designer at LucidLink, focused on solving the right problems. Over 20 years of design experience have shaped his belief that listening to customers, separating signal from noise, identifying the pain points that matter most, and addressing them in a timely manner is what helps any company grow and stay ahead. * **About LucidLink:** LucidLink is the storage collaboration platform that frees creative teams to work together from anywhere. With a single shared filespace protected by zero-knowledge encryption, your team can instantly and securely access, edit and share projects of any size. Combining the ease of a local drive with the power of the cloud, LucidLink gives you on-demand access to your files.

Spec-driven development flips the traditional workflow on its head: instead of code being the source of truth, the specification becomes the backbone of design, collaboration, and delivery. In this session, we’ll explore how GitHub Spec-Kit enables teams to treat specifications as first-class artifacts—living documents that drive architecture, implementation, and verification. You’ll learn how Spec-Kit helps teams clearly express intent using structured, version-controlled specs that live alongside code. We’ll walk through a practical workflow that starts with defining system behavior and constraints, then progressively refines those specs into testable, automatable outcomes. Along the way, we’ll show how specs can reduce ambiguity, improve cross-functional collaboration, and make design decisions explicit before a single line of production code is written. This talk will cover: --What spec-driven development is (and what it isn’t) --How GitHub Spec-Kit fits into modern developer workflows --Using specs to align product, engineering, and AI-assisted development --Real-world examples of turning specs into implementations with confidence Whether you’re building greenfield systems, integrating AI into your stack, or trying to reduce costly rework, spec-driven development offers a scalable way to move faster without sacrificing clarity. Attendees will leave with concrete patterns and a clear mental model for adopting GitHub Spec-Kit in their own projects.

What does it look like when ideas come to life? Join NOVA Scribes and MAFN for a full-day, in-person open house where the public is invited to step inside the world of facilitation. This is a come-and-go experience designed for curiosity, exploration, and conversation. Whether you are new to facilitation groups, you are welcome. The space will be set up as a "theater in the round," (see the image) with facilitators working live around the room. Throughout the day, you will see different techniques, styles, and modalities demonstrated in real time, from visual templates, facilitation tools, and decision-support methods. You can observe, ask questions, and engage directly with the practitioners as the work unfolds. **What you can expect** * Live demonstrations of facilitation techniques * Multiple practitioners working simultaneously, each with their own approach and style * Short, informal demos and tiny teaches that explain how and why specific techniques are used * Opportunities to talk one-on-one with experienced facilitators * A chance to see how facilitation can support sensemaking, alignment, and group dialogue **What you might explore** * Methods and templates for planning, strategy, and reflection * Facilitation methods that support participation and decision making * Tools, materials, and setup considerations for live work This open house is designed to be accessible, hands-on, and inspiring. You do not need to stay all day. Come for 20 minutes or stay for hours. Watch ideas take shape. Notice how facilitation can change the energy in the room. Ask the questions you have always wanted to ask. If you have ever been curious about how facilitation works and supports groups, this is your chance to experience it up close. **Open to the general public. No prior experience required.** We’re not charging for this workshop, but we will be asking for donations!

You'll leave with a clear roadmap for seamlessly translating shared business logic into performant, cross-platform pixels. Clinton is a Distinguished Engineer at Capital One with a focus on Mobile and AI core platforms **Second Talk Description:** • Swift on Android Marc Prud'hommeaux The release of Swift 6.3 features official support for the Android platform. This is the culmination of over 10 years of effort to bring the Swift language to Android, first through a series of independent and uncoordinated projects and then eventually coalescing into an official Android Workgroup under the umbrella of the Swift project. The result is the Swift SDK for Android, a cross-compilation Swift SDK that can be used on macOS and Linux to compile Swift code into the various Android architectures as a native library. But what can you actually do with Swift on Android? Far from being limited to just libraries for sharing business logic between Android and iOS, you can, in fact, use it to build and distribute entire apps. This talk will discuss the various ways in which the Swift SDK for Android can be used to create applications, from the lowest-level manual native interaction with the Android NDK and SDK, to synthesizing Java bindings generated with the nascent swift-java project, all the way up to creating full Jetpack Compose powered apps using [Skip.dev.](http://Skip.dev.) Swift is now a contender among the languages that can be used to build applications for both iOS and Android. While it is a newer entrant compared to the established players like Dart, JavaScript, and Kotlin, it features some distinct advantages that make it worth considering for your next app project. Marc Prud'hommeaux has been developing apps for iOS and Android since 2008, and was the author of the very first ebook reader for the iPhone: Stanza. He has worked in a variety of roles over the years, designing and building apps for giants like Amazon, Bose, and the New York Times. In 2022 he started [Skip.dev](http://Skip.dev) ([https://skip.dev](https://skip.dev/)) with the vision of bringing Swift and SwiftUI application development to Android, and is one of the founding members of the Swift Android Workgroup. He is also the founder of the non-profit App Fair Project ([https://appfair.org](https://appfair.org/)) and an advocate for software freedom.

NOVA Code and Coffee is an inclusive, informal, co-working session. People of all skill levels are invited. The concept is simple, bring a laptop and ideas, we'll provide the coffee and donuts! Here's how it works: 1. At 10:15 everyone introduces themselves and briefly describes what brought them to Code & Coffee today (project, homework, networking, etc) 2. For the rest of the day, folks work in the communal space on their projects providing one another help and conversation as needed. Oh and they usually drink coffee and tea too! That's it! Hope to see you there! **Location** Our hosts are the Fairfax City Economic Development Building: [10300 Eaton Pl, Fairfax, VA 22030](https://www.bing.com/ck/a?!&&p=d7298231ca2df594df822003f9a93517c788fceefe1fcbb79c8976696e341bc6JmltdHM9MTc1MzIyODgwMA&ptn=3&ver=2&hsh=4&fclid=180d0745-3b7f-69a1-23a2-11433a7868e5&u=a1L21hcHM_Jm1lcGk9MTA5fn5Ub3BPZlBhZ2V-QWRkcmVzc19MaW5rJnR5PTE4JnE9RmFpcmZheCUyMENpdHklMjBFY29ub21pYyUyMERldmVsb3BtZW50JnNzPXlwaWQuWU44NzN4ODI4MTk2Mjg0NTk5MDM4MTU0MiZwcG9pcz0zOC44NjE0NDYzODA2MTUyMzRfLTc3LjMwMjE3NzQyOTE5OTIyX0ZhaXJmYXglMjBDaXR5JTIwRWNvbm9taWMlMjBEZXZlbG9wbWVudF9ZTjg3M3g4MjgxOTYyODQ1OTkwMzgxNTQyfiZjcD0zOC44NjE0NDZ-LTc3LjMwMjE3NyZ2PTImc1Y9MSZGT1JNPU1QU1JQTA&ntb=1) Conference Room A- Large, Floor 1 This is a new venue for us, so give us some time to get more details about it. Driving is the best option. There is plenty of free on-site parking. Otherwise, we are a 22 minute bus from the Vienna Metro Station. Bicycling from Vienna is possible but difficult, though once you are here, there's a bike rack in the garage behind the building, and there's also a Capital Bikeshare dock 15 min walk away. **Sponsored by:** Thank you [Fairfax City Economic Development](https://gofairfaxcity.com/) and [Mason Enterprise Center](https://enterprise.gmu.edu/) for making this event possible! **Thank you so much to our wonderful sponsors!** Organized by [DMV Petri Dish](https://www.dmvpetridish.com/) **[Code of Conduct](https://github.com/NoVACodeCoffee/admin/blob/master/code-of-conduct.md):** We value the participation of each member of the community and want all attendees to have an enjoyable and fulfilling experience.
