EVENTS
Conferences are a great way to learn new concepts, follow industry trends and emerging technologies, meet and network with professionals, get certified and earn CPEs (for maintaining your certifications).
If you’re planning to attend events in-person, be sure to factor in costs for transportation, accommodation and meals.
I’ve curated a few security and privacy conferences on this page from the UK, Europe, North America and the Middle East.
I’ll update the page as I find more events.
Also drop me a DM if you know of other events that should be listed (no guarantees).
