Announcing The Sober Speakeasy at Hacker Summer Camp: Hosted by Sober in Cyber, Intezer, and Community Partners

[PRESS RELEASE]


LAS VEGAS, Nevada – Event on August 8 – Sober in Cyber, an Arizona nonprofit group, is bringing back its Sober Speakeasy event on August 8th at the Mob Museum. Sober in Cyber brings alcohol-free events to the cybersecurity industry so tech professionals can foster new connections with zero pressure to drink.


The Sober Speakeasy is sponsored by community partners, including Platinum Sponsor Intezer, a leading provider of AI-powered technology for autonomous security operations. “Through our sponsorship of the Sober Speakeasy event, we aim to support alternative and inclusive options for cybersecurity professionals who want to engage in social activities at conferences that aren’t centered around alcohol,” notes Itai Tevet, CEO and Co-founder of Intezer.


The event is timed to bridge two of the biggest infosec conferences of the year, Black Hat USA 24 and DEF CON 32. It also marks the one-year anniversary of Sober in Cyber's launch in 2023. “We’re thrilled to be back in the same venue where our nonprofit publicly launched last year,” states Jen VanAntwerp, Founder of Sober in Cyber. “The Sober Speakeasy offers a fun and engaging respite from many other alcohol-fueled events adjacent to the conferences for everyone in the community, whether they’re sober, sober curious, or just want to enjoy a unique social experience to wrap up Black Hat or kick off DEF CON.”


Scheduled for August 8, 2024, at 7 p.m., the Sober Speakeasy will offer food, mocktails, museum tours, and plenty of opportunities to connect with fellow infosec professionals, all without any pressure to drink alcohol.
