New Jersey
Princeton has no security meetup of its own; most local activity comes from statewide chapters (ISC2 New Jersey, ISACA New Jersey, InfraGard New Jersey) that meet online or in Central Jersey towns such as Somerset and Edison. The Princeton Public Library teaches occasional online-safety classes, FUBAR Labs in North Brunswick runs open hack nights twice a week, and the monthly 2600 meeting is at Bridgewater Commons. The larger conferences are a train ride away in New York and Philadelphia.
