Portland, OR cybersecurity events & groups
Portland's security community meets most often at grassroots events: the RainSec social on the last Tuesday of each month, a weekly Exploit Workshop and a monthly locksport meetup at PDX Hackerspace, and a 2600 meeting on first Fridays. ISACA, ISC2 Oregon, InfraGard Oregon and OWASP meet less often, and several of them are statewide or partly online. BSidesPDX, the volunteer-run conference, is held October 23 and 24, 2026 at Portland State University.
Start here
- RainSec (PDX Information Security Meetup): Free, open, non-vendor social; no RSVP needed and the organizers report 40 to 60 people a month.
- Exploit Workshop at PDX Hackerspace (CTRL-H): Weekly hands-on security night at PDX Hackerspace, open to beginners and professionals.
- BSidesPDX 2026: The city's community security conference, with a pay-what-you-can option.

Field notes
- PDX 2600: the group's own site lists Fast Times, 624 E Burnside St at 6:30 p.m.; the 2600 magazine meeting list gives 7:00 p.m., and some community pages still name Sizzle Pie, which the group says closed in March 2025.
- RainSec does not require RSVPs, so the Meetup attendee count understates turnout.
- ISACA Portland 2026 spring training: the chapter's event page gives a virtual keynote on May 12 and in-person sessions on May 13 and 14, 2026, while its Eventbrite page lists a single day on May 12. The chapter page is followed here.
- ISC2 Oregon and InfraGard Oregon are statewide and often meet online or outside Portland; check each meeting's location before you go.
- Portland State University, Portland Community College and Mt. Hood Community College hold NSA/DHS CAE designations. PSU's student security club (void* vikings) organizes through Discord, and no public meeting schedule was found. The PCC Cybersecurity Club's public calendar has no entries after 2020.
