For those in the LA area looking to see some old friends, make new ones, hack, and relax, come join us for Layer0.1 on Saturday at Null Space Labs (@nullspacelabs)! You can RSVP on Meetup to help us with planning: https://www.meetup.com/NullSpaceLabs/events/285893173/

We will be hosting a CTF that you can participate in virtually, as well some lockpicking and pinball streams. Come have some fun!

Sincerely,

Hello! We are not hosting our big in-person event this year due to COVID concerns in LA earlier this year. Instead, we’ll be hosting a hybrid online/physical event with some online contests and hacking, BBQing, and hanging out at Null Space Labs. We’re calling it Layer0.1 : >.

We know you’re all super excited to get back to normal but it just wasn’t in the cards for this year. We look forward to seeing you at LayerOne 2023 when we can do everything 100% again! Until then, come hang out at Layer0.1 at NSL in May : )

More details will be announced soon! If you’d like to contribute a contest, event, or workshop to this year’s event please email us at contact@layerone.org.

Sincerely,
The LayerOne Staff
