Hey there, Downtown NYC Tech friends!

Its been too long since our last gathering, so were kicking off a new & improved meetup series in April. On April 17th at 6pm well take over Telstras office on 40 Wall Street. The view alone is worth the trip!

The vibe will be (as always) informal & yet serious: were interested in digging into real issues (technical & otherwise) while fostering a networking environment that helps us move forward as professionals & as a community.

The topic for the night is around new approaches to security, with a special focus on the lowest level of the stack (think firmware, SEV, SGX, & secure enclaves!). Weve invited two super experienced technical co-founders - who are also CTOs - to lead the conversation, demonstrate new approaches, & answer your questions.
