TuesdayNov 30 2021RainSec - PDX Information Security MeetupWebsite
RainSec is an informal group of like-minded security professionals who meet to network and discuss topics of interest in a non-work, non-vendor setting.
While our target audience is experienced information security professionals, this is a public event open to any interested parties. If you have a friend or colleague who might benefit, please pass an invite along.
Follow @PDXRainSec on Twitter for last minute updates.
Because the Delta variant of COVID-19 still presents significant risk to some members of our community, we ask that you observe the following and make your own risk assessment decision regarding your attendance:
- Masks are required to be worn over the mouth and nose while in the venue, except when eating or drinking.
- If outdoor seating is available and weather permits, we will be outside.
- If you are feeling sick, stay home!
- If you've had a recent COVID exposure, stay home!
- If you are not vaccinated, stay home!
- If you are otherwise considered high risk for COVID, please stay home until you feel it is safe to gather in large groups (20-40 people). We don't want to be the cause of anyone's illness or death.
We miss all of you, and we look forward to seeing you as soon as it is safe for you to attend.
You can also find us on Meetup.com and Google Groups.

WednesdayDec 1 2021How COVID has reshaped the workplace – Considerations for a hybrid or fully remote workforceWebsite
COVID has certainly impacted our lives in many, many ways. After positive experiences from working at home, a number of people are now looking to continue in a hybrid or remote work environment. As an employer, what are the legal implications that you need to consider in these new environments? How do you maintain your culture and sense of camaraderie? As an entrepreneur, what services/products can you offer companies to support their efforts as they struggle with these challenges?
Join us on Wednesday, December 1st to hear from three speakers who are dealing with these changes in the workplace, and learn what they are doing. You will hear from: • A labor and employment lawyer discussing the legal implications of a hybrid or remote workforce. • A Chief Experience Officer who will share culture/team building best practices and how they've changed when teams are remote and/or hybrid. • A CEO of a local, small tech company that has gone totally remote. She’ll talk about how they made that decision, and what they've done to maintain team cohesiveness.
From this Lunch & Learn, you will gain insights, tools and creative ideas on how to thrive in a hybrid or remote work environment.
