Hello once more to everyone! 🙂

 

Not much has really changed over the last month so we continue to offer our premium online meetup experience over at the BoT Discord server.

We have some wonderfully dedicated community members ensuring fun and eventful times are had when you are able to join us, from your latest work from home hax to fighting over music playlists and even gaming sessions to cry over how you STILL can’t get your hands on a new 3090…

 

This means all BoT meetups & regular interactions/chats will be continued across our available virtual environments, on both our Slack Channel & Discord Server.

 

Until further notice, all monthly meetups will be held online on the 2nd Tuesday of every month.

ALL Locations: Tuesday 8th February – Online – From 18:30 @ Discord Server

Of course, as we continue to watch carefully how things progress, we will keep you in the loop of new opportunities and new creative events to keep our community buzzing.

************** Additional Events Info **************

If you have been reading this over the last few months, you would have known that we had our annual members-only DC4131 hike event a couple weeks ago, and it was one of our best and most attended to date! 🙂
We had literally the perfect weather for the day, and the multiple strategies on show were a sight to behold, from the “beer for breakfast” approach, to the “dressed like I’m doing national army service” professional readiness approach, to which we all I’m sure can agree, had an awesome time.

If your thinking, “hey this looks real fun, I want in next year and for all future members-only events, reach out the to the DC4131 board who can let you know how you can become a member 😉

The long wait is finally over……… DC4131 BoT Meetups Are Resurrecting! 😀

What is going on our beloved community!?

It feels so strange to be back behind a keyboard typing this out, but we are BACK BABY!

The journey has been long and arduous, but we did not give up, we have been forever closely monitoring, evaluating and working hard behind the scenes to pick as best the right & safest time to make the infamous DEFCON Switzerland Beer on Tuesday physical meetups become a reality again, and we´ve finally made it.

We are super happy and honoured to be able to provide you once more an option for a physical monthly hacker social meetup, across various locations around our glorious nation. We very much hope and anticipate looking to catch up with all of you again across the coming months.

Having said all that, please note that not all our usual pre-COVID meetup locations and BoT masters are just quite ready yet to provide the physical meetup experience, so please bear with us as we all work to bring back the quality experiences you have come to expect from us. They will come….

And so, as much as we can celebrate on this occasion and milestone, we must still remain mindful and respectful to those around us and the still applicable conditions which we must abide by.

***** UPDATED (04.07.2021) ******

These, at the time of writing are still the following:

1. All persons must be sat down whilst eating or drinking in a public location (bar/restaurant). No mask is required whilst sat at the table, but is required when moving around internally.
2. Indoor Seating – No further number restrictions.
3. Outdoor Seating – No further number restrictions.
4. Please sign up and register according to the policy/system of the locaiton you are meeting at.

 

We very much thank you for your respect to those around you and the wider community/public during our gatherings. We at the board also continue to encourage the option and ability to gain COVID vaccination, but completely respect the personal and individual decision it represents, and as such is not a mandatory requirement for any of our meetups (subject to individual location requirements).

 

Please see the following events that are planned for June/July:

Chur:  June 30 –  18:30 CET – Sunshine Pub – Mandatory pre-sign up required! – Please email tobias[@]defcon-switzerland[.]org to secure your spot. (YES THIS IS A WEDNESDAY!)

A mighty fine hello to all you (hopefully holiday relaxed) people out there.

 

After a holiday hiatus, we are back! 😀

 

We made it, we survived 2020 and all it had to throw at us, and turned a corner into 2021. This does not mean the end however, as we can clearly see from what is still going on around us…

With this in mind, we are still, unfortunately, far from a safe time to start exploring physical meetup options again, which is why we are continuing to offer our premium online meetup experience over at the BoT Discord server.

We have some wonderfully dedicated community members ensuring fun and eventful times are had when you are able to join us, from your latest work from home hax to fighting over music playlists and even gaming sessions to cry over how you still can´t get your hands on a new 3090…
