But mostly I would like to spotlight #WICCON2025!

2 days of curated top talks and workshops, all by excellent women from the Security community.

Organised by some amazing women, and visited by hundreds of people.

I marvel at how great the security community is each and every time.
It’s been a week…

A good one and so very very fully booked.

May highs amongst which Rick rolling 6 classes of Cyber Security students.

Still makes me grin
