Meetings
Chapter 76, Society of Broadcast Engineers (SBE), generally meets on the Thursday after the second Tuesday of each month. The date rarely varies from this formula. This keeps the meeting towards the middle of every month.
You do not need to be a member of the SBE to attend these meetings, nor do you have to be a member of the local broadcast community. As long as the topic of the meeting is of interest to you, you're invited. If you see that a given month is “Reserved” for an exhibitor, it means simply that. Additional details of meetings are posted here as soon as they're available.

order my regular lunch, but pay for it myself )
What:
IT Security in a Broadcast Plant.
These days, the trend is toward virtualization, containerization
and cloud based everything. What does that mean – and more
importantly, what are the steps we need to take in order to
ensure that we’re presenting as little visible footprint as
possible, while still enabling our teams to get the job done?
Questions you should be asking your manufacturer regarding IT
security. Why it is still necessary for end users to take some
initiative to practice security on their end as well.
A highly-informative discussion on things you can do to keep your
network secure, while learning a bit about what goes on behind
the scenes as we continually juggle ease-of-use against security.
