The 2023 Def Con is well under way! You might want to use this trick to make it harder to spike your drinks. This isn’t to say that everyone at Def Con is trying to surreptitiously drug other people’s drinks, but there is a certain transgressive element there, and as any security expert will tell you: you can never really be too careful.

How do I put this list together? It’s largely automated. I have a collection of Python scripts in a Jupyter Notebook that scrape Meetup and Eventbrite for events in categories that I consider to be “tech,” “entrepreneur,” and “nerd.” The result is a checklist that I review. I make judgement calls and uncheck any items that I don’t think fit on this list.
In addition to events that my scripts find, I also manually add events when their organizers contact me with their details.
What goes into this list? I prefer to cast a wide net, so the list includes events that would be of interest to techies, nerds, and entrepreneurs. It includes (but isn’t limited to) events that fall under any of these categories:
