# Announcing Identity and Security Meetups



At [Auth0](https://auth0.com), we are passionate about all things identity and security, so much so, that we have kicked off a number of local meetups across the globe to connect identity and security experts with local developer communities to better connect, share knowledge, and improve the state of security on the web.

We’ve recently held our inaugural meetups in [London](https://www.meetup.com/London-Identity-and-Security-Meetup/) and [Melbourne](https://www.meetup.com/Melbourne-Identity-and-Security-Meetup/), with the inaugural [Seattle Identity and Security](https://www.meetup.com/Seattle-Identity-and-Security-Meetup/) meetup taking place on [December 12](https://www.meetup.com/Seattle-Identity-and-Security-Meetup/events/256631698/).

The Identity and Security meetups invite guest speakers and experts in their field to share best practices, lessons learned, and innovative solutions to the many challenges the field provides. From talks like "Identity 101" to "Developers Against the Dark Arts", we aim to offer a varied list of topics for developers of all skill levels. If you are interested in speaking at one of these meetups, please reach out to me at [ado@auth0.com](mailto:ado@auth0.com) or contact the organizers of the local meetups directly!

Seattle, London, and Melbourne are just the start for the Identity and Security meetups. In the upcoming year, we plan to expand this meetup series to many more cities and get more local developer communities involved. In the meantime, we also host a monthly [online meetup](https://meetup.com/auth0-online-meetup) that covers similar topics for a global audience.

We can’t wait to see you at the next Identity and Security meetup!
