Fresno's main recurring security gathering is the Central San Joaquin Valley Cybersecurity Consortium, which brings educators, employers, public agencies and students together for quarterly meetups and a summer summit; its January 27, 2027 meetup is on its calendar and its fall 2026 meetup is listed as TBD. Clovis Community College has a student Cyber Club that competes in the National Cyber League, and Root Access Hackerspace hosts free community events, though it has held no security meetup since August 2024. The nearest ISSA chapter meets in Bakersfield, and the nearest ISACA, ISC2, OWASP and InfraGard chapters meet in the Sacramento area.
