Welcome to Hacker & Hemingway, a Virtual Happy Hour presented by Alacrinet
At Alacrinet, we host exclusive events like this Virtual Happy Hour and Cybersecurity Summit to help keep you informed of the latest trends in IT security as well as get to know you and your security goals. Ideally, we'd be able to meet in person but for now we thought we'd create a unique virtual Happy Hour that combines a rum tasting and IT Security.
During the virtual Happy Hour:
Register now to reserve your spot and receive a complimentary bottle of Papa's Pilar Rye-Finished Rum! Once registered, we will ship you your very own bottle to enjoy during (and after) the event. Registration info below!
See you October 19th!
