- Hackers Guild PGH (2247 Babcock Blvd) has a Pittsburgh mailing address but is in Ross Township, north of the city. Most chapter meetings in this guide are held there.
- DC412 meets on the fourth Friday at Hackers Guild. Its DEF CON Groups listing still says second Thursdays at various venues, which is out of date.
- DC724's website says it meets in person, but its June and October 2026 meetings were on Discord. Check the Meetup page for each month's format.
- ISACA Pittsburgh's InfoSec Day is at Rivers Casino; attendees under 21 must register by November 13, 2026 and contact the chapter because of casino age rules.
- ISC2 Pittsburgh and InfraGard Pittsburgh post meetings irregularly; check their pages before planning around them.
