Portland Peers & Beers -- a CyberSecurity User Group & Professional Education mixer!
Thu., Oct. 27, 2022, 4:30pm - 6:30pm
Location: Bruno's Restaurant & Tavern, 33 Allen Ave., Portland, ME 04103
Make Cybersecurity Awareness Month last All Year Long!
At this first "Peers & Beers" in years MTUG featured "speed presentations" from local Cybersecurity User Groups and Security Education Programs. Each of 7 groups had a chance for a brief presentation, with plenty of time to connect before and after. Over 50 registered, and over 40 attended. Attendees learned about the cybersecurity groups meeting in our region, plus the education and certification programs available for supported or formal learning. And there were flyers and stickers!
If you have a Security User Group or Cybersecurity Education Program serving Maine and Northern New England, and missed this event, please feel free to create an Account (top-right of our website), and once your account is approved you may then create a "Company" listing for your school or user group. There's plenty of room in the listing fields to describe your user group meetings, or educational programming. Final User Group and Education Program listing entries go under additional MTUG review. See all our regional User Groups and Educational Programs in the MTUG Directory here.
