Software Engineering Events in Belfast

Kicking off a regular series of monthly community events, we're heading to the pub, and we're gonna pick some locks.

Bring your picks, tumblers, shims, decoders, tensioners and most importantly, locks, and we'll keep picking them till we can pick no more!

Or, if lockpicking isn't your thing, just come and chill out and chat about everything infosec.

Food is available at the venue, please see their website if you want more info.

Belfast Design Meetup is a free after-work event for designers to learn, connect, and grow together. Starting at 5:30 PM, we’ll have talks, discussions, and real-world experience sharing in Belfast City Centre at the stunning MCS Group event space.

he response to this has been a bit mental and I’m grateful for all who has joined.

I’m a backend dev and into my security, and I basically just wanted to find a community of people into the same stuff. To be honest, I’m a bit nervous about running this for the first time, but the goal is just to get everyone in a room, grab some pizza, and figure out what we want to build together.

The plan:

6:30 PM: Pizza & Drinks. Just a casual chat to see what everyone is working on.

7:00 PM: Planninh. We'll have a chat about what we want to tackle in the next few months whether that’s Wireshark, AWS, Home Labs, Research into latest exploits, or CTFs. You lot choose what we focus on.

8:00 PM: Help needed. I’m looking for a partner or a co-host to help me run the technical labs and get things organized. If you’re interested, let’s chat.

8:30 PM: Wrap up.

What to bring:
Nothing. No laptops needed for the first one. Even if you’re just starting out, come along for the pizza and a chat about the local tech scene .

Location: TBD (Aiming for Innovation Factory)
Date: May 22nd
