Dates

Meetings are normally the last Tuesday of the month, except December. Talks start at 7:30pm, but we have the room from about 6:30pm. We recommend turning up a little early to grab a drink and settle in.

New attendees welcome, just come along! (There are no entry fees, and no tickets to book.)

Future dates for 2025:

• 30 September
• 28 October
• 25 November

December is a bit ad-hoc, but usually involves getting food somewhere.

If you’d like to be reminded of future events, add the ical feed to your calendar.

Rules

18+ Sorry, the pub’s license only allows people 18 and over after 6pm.

Please be respectful to our speakers, other attendees, and the venue staff.

Speakers Wanted

Typically our programme has a primary talk of ~45 minutes, and lighter talk ~30 minutes. This isn’t a hard structure, feel free to propose a lightning talk or Q&A discussion if that works for your topic.

We’re also happy to host activities other than talks, such as hands-on workshop or an infosec pub quiz, or something else relevant to our techie audience!

The qualifications for speakers are simple, have a subject of interest to fellow technical & InfoSec people. The subject can be on technical or security issues, social interaction with technology, based on the current events, or just something entertaining to our attendees. As a speaker you can be an expert, a student, someone learning a new area, maybe a regular speaker on the conference circuit, but we also love to have new & occasional speakers.

Send your talk / activity proposals to talks@dc4420.org

We also welcome occasional company pitches, to sell or recruit, but to regulate the frequency of these we ask you to buy a round of drinks. Also please discuss with us beforehand!
