What happens in the room
Conversation, not conference theatre.
Come in. Meet people. Talk cybersecurity. Share what you are doing. Learn something useful. Leave knowing more people than you did before.
Peer Spotlight
Community members share projects, research, tools, career experiences, bug bounty work, CTFs and useful things they are building.
Community Conversations
Questions, introductions, experiences, mentorship and knowledge-sharing across different levels of the ecosystem.
Professional Networking
Real time to meet people, exchange contacts, discover collaborators and build relationships beyond LinkedIn.
Why it exists
Cybersecurity grows stronger when the people doing the work know one another.
Ibadan has security talent across universities, banks, fintech, technology companies, consulting, startups, research and independent work. Yet people can know of one another without having enough recurring, informal space to build real relationships.
Cyber Meetup creates a physical connection point. It gives experienced practitioners and people finding their way into the field a shared room—without pretending everyone has the same background, role or ambition.
The goal is simple: reduce professional isolation, make local work more visible and create more chances for collaboration, mentorship and opportunity to emerge naturally.

Who can attend?
Practitioners, students, researchers, founders, leaders, career transitioners and technology professionals interested in security are welcome. The room is intentionally cross-level.
Is it only for experienced professionals?
No. It is also not a beginners-only event. The value comes from bringing people at different stages into the same respectful conversation.
How often does the meetup happen?
Quarterly. The exact date, venue, admission and registration details are announced for each edition.
Where does it take place?
In Ibadan. Venues may change between quarterly editions, so use the Next Meetup module for the current location.
Do I need to register?
Yes when registration opens. Each edition may have a capacity limit, and the registration link will appear clearly on this site.
Is attendance free?
Admission is set for each edition. We will show the confirmed price or free-admission status with the event details rather than making a permanent promise.
Can I present a project?
You can express interest in Peer Spotlight for projects, research, tools, CTF or bug bounty learning, career stories and useful experiments. All submissions are reviewed.
How can my organisation support the meetup?
Visit the Sponsor page to explore sponsorship, venue, media, community and knowledge partnerships. We shape relevant collaborations rather than selling generic logo placement.
