There are a variety of events in Pittsburgh, but all of them have a different cadence, focus, and composition. This guide was put together to centralize some basic characteristics of the groups in order to help find the right fit.

If you hang out on the pittsec slack channel, events are automatically posted to the #events channel, as well as to that specific event’s channel.

User Groups

User groups are groups that meet more than once a year, cover a variety of topics, and are often attended by less than one hundred people per event.

Conferences

Conferences typically only occur once a year, are 8+ hours across one or more days, and are often attended by hundreds to thousands people per event

Student Organizations

Student organizations are groups that are run by or are exclusively for students and school affiliates. University groups are typically inactive during the summer break.

Inactive Groups

Here is a place for me to put groups that used to be active but are either inactive or no longer exist.

Events Calendar

Thanks to the Pittsburgh InfraGard team we also have a central calendar that contains all of the local infosec events, embedded below.
