WHO WE ARE#

The Seattle Hackers Association is a loose group of hackers and security professionals in the greater Seattle area.

OUT MEETINGS#

The meetings consist of short “turbo-talks” from anyone that would like to speak on a topic for anywhere from 5 to 10 minutes. There is a TV (HDMI only) if you wish to use a slide deck or perform demos.

  • For time/location of meetings please see our Meetings page.
  • Before attending, please see the Rules page

Presentation Ideas#

The scariest thing for most people is trying to figure out what to present on at SHA! While this may seem challenging, it’s actually quite easy. We have some basic suggestions that may help you:

  • Present your own material/work
  • We love code, demos, and live examples of work. But make it your own. Don’t give us a 101 on a topic that any of us could just lookup ourselves or read an already written how-to on.
  • It doesn’t have to be finished work.
  • If you’ve shown you’re doing your own research but are stuck, come talk to us and we’ll likely be able to help!
  • No book reports.

Lastly, many of the best SHA! presentations were written one hour before the meeting, or onsite during other speakers. We don’t need or want overly complicated powerpoint slides. Remember, we are all a bunch of geeks like you. If the topic is something that interests you, it likely will be interesting to others!
