Kansas
Wichita has an ISSA chapter that meets monthly on the first Friday over Zoom, an ISC2 chapter that has met monthly on Zoom, and OzSec, a two-day community conference held at the Hyatt Regency Wichita in October. Kansas state and local government security staff gather each spring at the Kansas Public Sector Cybersecurity Summit, also held in Wichita. No other researched city is within about two hours, so the list is short.
