Announcing the Retirement of OWASP Meetup Platform

Andrew van der Stock, January 13, 2026

There is no easy way to say this, so here goes. OWASP will be retiring Meetup, effective January 31, 2026. This impacts attendees and chapter leaders. Retiring Meetup in such a short time is not how any of us would have planned to do it, but we must make the best of a tough situation. OWASP’s new website will shortly go live and take over the hosting of all chapter meetings, improving the usability for attendees and chapter leaders, and reducing the complexity of managing chapters to a single platform.
