Uptime & Unwind: The Bay Area's IT & Security Happy Hour

Uptime & Unwind is a casual happy hour for people who keep things running—whether that’s managing infrastructure, securing systems, handling compliance, or responding when things don't go as planned.

You’ll meet folks from IT, security, and GRC across healthcare, manufacturing, and tech—people who get what it takes to keep everything moving.

💬 Not your exact role? No problem. Swing by if you’re curious, enjoy thoughtful conversations, or just want to meet smart people who work close to the systems that matter.

Agenda:

• 5:30-5:45pm: Welcome, name tags
• 5:45-8:15pm: Mingling, networking
• 8:15-8:30pm: Closing

Whether you're deep in the weeds or stepping into more responsibility, this is a chance to swap stories, share lessons learned, and hear how others are approaching similar challenges.

🍔 Food and drinks are available for purchase—just show up, grab a drink, and unwind.

📝 Please note: no pitching, selling, or promotion of your services—we want this to be a fun, safe, and welcoming environment for everyone.

🚨 Capacity will be limited, so RSVP to secure a spot! Please have +1s and friends RSVP as well.
