About this event
Tech and security move fast, but the best conversations still happen in a room with other curious people. Tech & Security Talks #2 - C.A Gameiro Marques brings the Lisbon community together for an in-person evening of ideas, perspective, and practical discussion around technology, security, and the challenges shaping both. If you care about how technology is built, protected, and understood in the real world, this meetup gives you a focused space to listen, ask better questions, and meet others who take the topic seriously. It is designed to feel accessible, thoughtful, and genuinely useful whether you work directly in security or simply want a sharper view of where the field is heading. About the Event This event is part of a community-driven series built around tech, security, and the people working across those worlds. The format is simple on purpose: bring people together in person, center the evening around a strong talk, and leave room for discussion and connection afterward. With C.A Gameiro Marques featured in this edition, the night is an opportunity to hear from a notable voice in the space and engage with topics that matter beyond headlines. Rather than a broad, impersonal conference setup, this meetup format keeps the experience grounded, conversational, and relevant to the local community in Lisbon. Because the event is tagged across tech, community, networking, meetup, and social, you can expect more than a one-way presentation. The goal is not just to sit through a talk, but to create a setting where ideas can be exchanged and new professional relationships can start naturally. It is also a good fit for people who appreciate events with a clear theme and a manageable scale. You get the energy of a live audience, the substance of a focused session, and the ease of an evening meetup rather than an all-day commitment. What to Expect The evening begins on Thursday, June 25 at 6:00 PM GMT+1 in Lisboa, Portugal, giving attendees an after-work time slot that is easy to plan around. Since this is an in-person gathering, expect a more direct and engaging atmosphere than you would get online, with room for real conversation before, during, and after the main session. While the exact minute-by-minute agenda is not listed, the event format strongly suggests a structure like this: Arrival and informal check-in, with time to settle in and meet other attendees A featured talk or presentation centered on technology and security themes Discussion and audience engagement, where key ideas can be unpacked further Networking and social time to continue conversations with peers and fellow attendees What makes a meetup like this valuable is the mix of perspectives in the room. Some people will come for the technical angle, others for the policy, strategic, or operational side of security, and many for the chance to connect those dots. That diversity tends to make the questions better and the post-talk conversations more interesting. You should also expect a community feel rather than a polished corporate production. That usually means more openness, more honest exchanges, and a better chance to actually talk with the people around you instead of rushing in and out. Why Attend Security discussions are often either too abstract or too narrow. Events like this hit a better balance: they create space for ideas that matter at a high level while keeping the conversation close enough to practice, decision-making, and current realities to be useful. Attending in person gives you value that is hard to replicate through articles, podcasts, or livestreams. You are not just absorbing information; you are hearing how people react to it, what questions they raise, and which themes resonate across different backgrounds in tech. That context helps you think more clearly about the field. You may come away with: A stronger understanding of current security conversations and why they matter New perspectives from the speaker and the audience, not just a single point of view Better questions to bring back to your own work, team, or studies Useful local connections with people who share your interest in tech and security A clearer sense of the Lisbon community around these topics and where you fit within it There is also simple value in being in the room. If you are trying to stay engaged with the tech ecosystem in Lisbon, showing up to well-focused meetups helps you remain connected, visible, and part of the ongoing conversation. One evening can lead to new contacts, future collaborations, or simply a more informed way of looking at the security landscape. Practical Details This is an in-person event in Lisboa, Portugal, so plan to attend on site rather than remotely. Being physically present is part of the appeal here: the conversations before and after the session are likely to be as worthwhile as the formal talk itself. The event starts at 6:00 PM GMT+1 on Thursday, June 25, making it a convenient option for people attending after work or study hours. If you want time to settle in and meet people before the main content begins, arriving a little early is a smart move. A few practical tips: Bring your curiosity and a few questions; this format rewards engaged attendees Expect a mix of talk and networking, not just a sit-down lecture Be ready to introduce yourself, especially if you want to make the most of the community aspect Plan your route in advance within Lisbon, since this is an in-person evening event If you are looking for a smart, grounded way to spend an evening in Lisbon with people who care about technology and security, this meetup is a strong choice. It offers substance without unnecessary formality, and it gives the local community a reason to gather around a topic that deserves serious attention.
