SUMMARY:Little Italy San Diego Tech Coffee
DESCRIPTION:We’re bringing back Tech Coffee to the greater downtown area after a few year hiatus. What better spot for Tech Coffee than Little Italy\, the coffee capital of San Diego! \nJoin us at Portal Coffee overlooking the beautiful Waterfront Park and San Diego Harbor. \nThere’s lots of available street parking along Kettner between Fir and Beech St just 1-3 blocks from Portal Coffee. See the Parking Map attached image. We’re also one block from the MTA Trolley and 2 blocks from Amtrak and the Coaster. \nCome by for some networking\, sharing\, brainstorming\, and mentoring. And we love it when people want to share what they are working on! \nThere is no agenda\, which means you can’t be late – come when you can\, leave when you need to. Very informal. \nNew to the San Diego startup community? Or just want to be better connected? Check out the SD Tech Scene calendar – https://sdtechscene.org

SUMMARY:Mix\, Connect & Overcome is a Founder's Mixer and Fireside Chat
DESCRIPTION:Attention Founders — this one’s for you. \nIf you’ve ever felt like you were one bad quarter\, one missed deadline\, or one impossible problem away from losing everything you built\, you need to be in this room. \nMix\, Connect & Overcome is a Founder’s Mixer and Fireside Chat bringing together founders\, entrepreneurs\, and like minded individuals for an evening of real conversation\, genuine connection\, and the kind of insight you only get from someone who has actually been on the brink. \nThe evening opens with an hour of freestyle networking. Meet other founders in your community\, share your story\, and build relationships that actually move the needle. Then we sit down for a candid\, unscripted fireside conversation designed around one question: how do you keep going when everything is working against you? \nOur featured guest is Alex Treiner — 3x founder\, startup veteran\, and author of Sherlock DNA: A Startup Saga\, a fiction novel based on real events that took place at Illumina. \nCome for the networking. Stay for the conversation. Leave with something you can actually use. \nAgenda:\n6:00 PM — Networking Mixer\n7:00 PM — Fireside Chat with Alex Treiner\n7:30 PM — Open Q&A\n7:45 PM — Networking \nAlex’s story is not a highlight reel. It’s an H1B visa with no safety net. A first company that went bankrupt. A nine-and-a-half-month sprint alongside a tight-knit team to pull a company back from the brink of extinction. Readers who lived through it with him called the book an“unbelievable startup drama” and “a ridiculously engaging read” — one even said they’d love to see it as a Netflix documentary. But tonight isn’t about the book. It’s about the lessons inside it\, told live and unfiltered\, in response to the questions founders are actually asking. \nPurchase Sherlock DNA: A Startup Sage 👉 https://www.amazon.com/Sherlock-DNA-Startup-Alex-Treiner/dp/B0GB3KVL83/ref=cm_cr_arp_d_product_top?ie=UTF8\n\nBook experience hosted by Rose Bowlus Law\, APC\n \nRose Bowlus Law is a boutique firm serving startups\, entrepreneurs\, and growing companies across industries. The firm supports clients through key stages of growth\, offering legal insight across corporate\, securities\, commodities\, and financial services matters. \nCA Attorney Advertisement\nRancho Santa Fe\, CA

SUMMARY:Let's Cowork in PB!
DESCRIPTION:Tired of working from your actual home\, and want a change of scenery? New to San Diego and want to meet new people? Come join us at our weekly coworking session. \nIt’s a pretty casual affair with new people every week\, some regulars\, and some just passing through. We take over a few tables at Second Nature in Pacific Beach and do a bit of work and a bit of getting to know each other. Come and go as you please\, but do remember to bring your laptop (charged as plugs are few). \nIt’s free to join\, but ideally grab some coffee or lunch & tip the servers. \nA note about RSVPs: \nThis group aims to help people meet in a small group. The max amount of people for this event is 12 people. We close the RSVP list on Mondays if there is a waitlist\, and if you can’t make it we do kindly ask that you change your status as soon as you know to give someone else a chance to attend. Those on the waitlist will receive a note on the day of the meetup letting them know if there is space or not. \nIf you sign up\, but do not attend\, you will be marked as a No Show. People with 5 No Shows will be removed from the group.

SUMMARY:VibeFest 2026 - A.I. Project Showcase & Slopathon!
DESCRIPTION:VibeFest is San Diego’s least serious\, most serious AI event of the year. It’s part trade show\, part competition\, part excuse to gather every AI enthusiast\, builder\, lover\, hater\, follower\, influencer\, and “I just got into this last week” curious-person under one roof. \n  \nAre we serious? Yes. Why do you ask? \nWe’re here because San Diego deserves to be celebrated\, and AI is fundamentally about the vibes — and frankly\, nobody’s vibes are better than ours. So we’re throwing the kind of event we wished existed: somewhere you can actually talk to people building real things\, learn something\, show off your weird side project\, and maybe win a deeply cursed trophy. \n  \nThe Two Main Events \n🎪 A.I. Project Showcase Think trade show\, minus the lanyards-and-LinkedIn energy. Got a project\, a product\, a startup\, a half-finished demo\, or a Claude prompt you’re weirdly proud of? Grab a table and show it off. Talk to people. Get feedback. Maybe find a co-founder. Maybe just find someone who’ll pretend to understand your RAG pipeline. \nDoors open at 5:00 PM for setup. Table locations are first come\, first served — show up early\, pick your spot\, plug in. \n💚 Slopathon A head-to-head competition to create the sloppiest possible AI creation. The exact deliverable and objective are announced live at the event\, so no\, you can’t pre-cook anything. The winner is crowned “The Sloppiest San Diegan” — a title of dubious honor and undeniable prestige. \nSlopathon kicks off at 6:45 PM sharp. Show up late\, slop alone. \nThe rules: have fun\, build something\, keep it sloppy. \n  \nWho’s this for? \nYou\, probably. Builders\, founders\, tinkerers\, designers\, the AI-curious\, the AI-skeptical\, students\, professionals\, hobbyists\, and anyone who’s ever ended a sentence with “…so I built a little thing.” If you care about what’s happening with AI in San Diego — whether you’re shipping production systems or still figuring out what an embedding is — you belong here. \n  \nWhy we’re doing this \nBecause the best parts of any tech scene happen in person\, not in group chats. Because San Diego has a real AI community and it deserves a real party. Because learning works better when there’s snacks and slop involved. \nAnd because — let’s be honest — we’re not building nuclear bombs here. We’re changing the world a different way. Might as well have fun doing it. \n  \n100% of proceeds go to the Ansir Innovation Center at the end of the night. Your ticket literally funds the next generation of San Diego makers\, builders\, and AI weirdos. Thanks for showing up. \nSee you May 27. Doors open at 5 for setup.

SUMMARY:SD ISSA InfoSec Networking Dinner Discussion (May)
DESCRIPTION:Topic: \n​How much Pen Testing is Enough? \n​​Overview:\nAt our upcoming Tabletop Exercise Dinner\, Paul Petefish will challenge one of the most deeply held assumptions in enterprise security: That Annual Pen Tests are Enough. \n​The reality? Traditional penetration testing was built for a world that no longer exists — one where infrastructure changed slowly and threat actors operated at human speed. Today’s cloud-native\, continuously evolving environments demand something far more dynamic. \n​In this session\, Paul Petefish will introduce the Continuous Penetration Testing Methodology (CPTM) — a structured framework that transforms offensive security from a point-in-time event into an always-on function. \n​You’ll walk away understanding: \n​✅ Why annual pen tests are failing to reflect real organizational risk \n​✅ How CPTM maps to — and exceeds — NIST\, PTES\, OWASP\, and MITRE ATT&CK \n​✅ What it takes to run continuous offensive security at scale \n​✅ How to shift executive risk conversations from pass/fail to measurable\, ongoing reduction \n​This one is for security leaders and practitioners who are ready to move beyond checkbox compliance and toward a future where your testing never stops. \n​​Hosted by: Paul Petefish\, Co-Founder\, Evolve Security \n​Paul is an offensive cybersecurity leader\, entrepreneur\, and researcher with over 20 years of experience. A former penetration tester\, he is the co-founder of Evolve Security\, where he has spent the past decade building next-generation offensive security solutions. \n​He is the creator of the Continuous Penetration Testing Methodology (CPTM)\, a framework that modernizes traditional testing into an always-on security control aligned with today’s cloud-native environments\, building on standards such as NIST SP 800-115\, PTES\, OWASP\, and MITRE ATT&CK and designed to integrate across modern security channels and tooling. \n​Paul is also a patent holder\, published vulnerability researcher\, guest lecturer at the University of Chicago\, and a recognized cyber expert for ABC and CBS Chicago\, advancing how organizations measure and manage cyber risk. \n​​KPMG First Floor Training Room\n4655 Executive Dr\, San Diego\, CA 92121 \n​​Dinner will be provided \n​​Note: Free street parking available – no validation \n​​Thank You to Today’s Sponsor! \n​​ISSA Membership & Inquiries \n​​Join SD ISSA and start attending our meetings & events for FREE!
