The Watch San Jose · Sundays at 8 AM
Every security event in San Jose, Silicon Valley and the Peninsula, in one Sunday email.
9 events are on the San Jose calendar over the next thirty days, 4 free and 2 with CPE credit. The Sunday email puts the week in order: chapter meetings, meetups, summits and vendor sessions, which ones carry CPE, which ones cost money, and which ones are worth your evening.
One email a week. One clearly marked sponsor per issue. Your email is never shared with organizers or sponsors.
