Big SecKC Night Coming Up at Knuckleheads Garage!

Hey Kansas City friends — whether you’re deep in the cyber trenches, love hacking weird tech, or just enjoy grabbing a beer with smart, quirky people, you do not want to miss next month’s SecKC meetup!

We’re bringing the heat with TWO amazing speakers:
Joe Marshall (Cisco Talos) — fresh from helping defend Ukraine’s power grid from GPS jamming in the middle of a war. This is a wild, inspiring story about hackers stepping up to literally save lives.

Neil Wyler (aka Grifter from Coalfire) — from dialing into pirate BBS boards to running the Wi-Fi that powers Black Hat (one of the world’s biggest hacker cons), Grifter’s been at the center of the hacker scene for decades. His journey is funny, legendary, and super relatable for anyone who ever took something apart just to see how it works.

Where:
Knuckleheads Garage
701 North Montgall Avenue
Kansas City, MO 64120
Pro tip: check our venue info page so you don’t get stuck behind a train!

When:
Doors open ~5:00 PM on July 8 for drinks & hanging out
Talks kick off at 6:00 PM
And we’ll keep the hacker vibes & music going late
