Welcome to the September 2019 DEFCON 201 Meet Up!
The Summer (and heatwaves) are finally over! Children are bringing their rented laptops in their Fortnite-branded backpacks to school and Adults are guzzling down endless gamer fuel next to the snoring dorm mates to get papers done for the upcoming semester.
We at DEFCON 201 want to keep this spirit of learning by trying and hacking including talking about our experience at the Application Security Training run by the SecureCodeWarrior & ISC NJ Local Chapters a day before.
Plus some awesome announcements for the end of 2019 and beyond!

Making Diversity a Reality: Lessons Learned from Hypatia Software Organization

This talk documents the efforts of one particular diversity in tech group, Hypatia Software Organization, Inc., and its work to normalize the trans experience in the tech sector. We will discuss its beginnings and history, current efforts, and how it has grown from the brainchild of a single person into a large and positive force. We will talk about its flagship peer mentoring program. We will also talk about how Hypatia’s efforts are both similar and different from other diversity initiatives. We will end with a discussion of what the future of diversity initiatives, how Hypatia fits in, and how you can fit in.
