We hosted two virtual meetups this year - and plan to host more throughout 2024.
I explained why these events are critical in Fresh Thoughts #90: Impromptu Chats Around a Cyber Campfire
Artificial Intelligence

And Finally...
For the 1% of readers who are still keeping track of How a Service Provider's Claims Made Me Go on a Diet. Here are the stats:
Weight loss so far: 13.9kg (30.6 lbs)
That's a drop of 10.4%.

Like cybersecurity, it is a process and journey rather than an event.
