The long wait is finally over……… DC4131 BoT Meetups Are Resurrecting! 😀
What is going on our beloved community!?
It feels so strange to be back behind a keyboard typing this out, but we are BACK BABY!
The journey has been long and arduous, but we did not give up, we have been forever closely monitoring, evaluating and working hard behind the scenes to pick as best the right & safest time to make the infamous DEFCON Switzerland Beer on Tuesday physical meetups become a reality again, and we´ve finally made it.
We are super happy and honoured to be able to provide you once more an option for a physical monthly hacker social meetup, across various locations around our glorious nation. We very much hope and anticipate looking to catch up with all of you again across the coming months.
Having said all that, please note that not all our usual pre-COVID meetup locations and BoT masters are just quite ready yet to provide the physical meetup experience, so please bear with us as we all work to bring back the quality experiences you have come to expect from us. They will come….
And so, as much as we can celebrate on this occasion and milestone, we must still remain mindful and respectful to those around us and the still applicable conditions which we must abide by.
***** UPDATED (04.07.2021) ******
These, at the time of writing are still the following:
- All persons must be sat down whilst eating or drinking in a public location (bar/restaurant). No mask is required whilst sat at the table, but is required when moving around internally.
- Indoor Seating – No further number restrictions.
- Outdoor Seating – No further number restrictions.
- Please sign up and register according to the policy/system of the locaiton you are meeting at.
We very much thank you for your respect to those around you and the wider community/public during our gatherings. We at the board also continue to encourage the option and ability to gain COVID vaccination, but completely respect the personal and individual decision it represents, and as such is not a mandatory requirement for any of our meetups (subject to individual location requirements).

************** Additional Events Info **************
A Key Date For Our Members Diary! On Saturday 18th September we will be hosting another annual round of the DC4131 hike, with a backup date of 25th September (weather dependant), which has always been real good chilled fun, embracing the outdoors, good chatter and chilling BBQ & drinks for the prize at the end. More details will be released in due course to our DC4131 members (as this is a members only event), so if you´re not a member yet, what are you waiting for?! 😉
Email the board if you´re interested.
