Cybersecurity Trivia Night

Attendees: 50+

Audience: Cybersecurity practitioners of all levels

The Organization

This event was not aligned to a given company or professional organization, the goal was to break barriers between the professional groups and create an unaffiliated event while doing good in the community. We partnered with many leaders from local cybersecurity organizations and gathered sponsors to donate all elements of the event, keeping it free and all money raised going straight to Central Texas Food Bank.

The Event

The event was focused on networking, building community, interactive learning, and supporting a local non-profit. The majority of the night consisted of unstructured networking while enjoying Franklins BBQ, open bar, and sunset views of downtown Austin. The final hour of the event was our cybersecurity focused trivia ranging from GRC, technical, history, and community. Attendees included practitioners of all levels and industry partners.
