Field notes
- 801 Labs hosts the 2600 meeting, the DC801 night and an in-person Hack The Box meetup; the Meetup page asks visitors to check the group's Discord to confirm a keyholder has opened the space.
- The isc2chapters.isc2.org page for the ISC2 Utah chapter requires a login, so its own event list could not be read; the chapter's Meetup page lists no meeting after May 21, 2026, which does not prove it is inactive.
- Several events are not open to the general public: the ISACA Utah fall socials and SheLeadsTech tea are for members, the Utah Cyber Alliance forum is for members and government and education employees, and InfraGard membership is vetted.
- SAINTCON 26 in Provo is about 45 miles south of Salt Lake City and its registration is sold out; the organizer keeps a standby list.
- The IAPP KnowledgeNet chapter page for Salt Lake City lists no scheduled meetings and no past meeting dates, so it appears only in the directory checklist.
- WiCyS Utah's website shows no events since January 2024; it may be active on social media that could not be read.
