Designed for connection

Nagios Meetup Groups Are Back!

Our Meetup Group connects IT professionals and open-source enthusiasts through technical talks, workshops, and networking opportunities.

Upcoming Event

Beta Programs:
The Good, The Bad, and The Buggy

February 19, 2026

Doors open at 5:30 p.m. |

Discussion begins at 5:45 p.m.

Nagios Headquarters | Suite 310

Join us for an open discussion and tech talk on beta programs! We’ll cover what they are, what makes them successful (or unsuccessful), and share real stories from software testing. This meetup is conversational—share your experience, learn from others, or bring your questions if you’re curious about software testing.

About

More Than Just Tech Meetups

Sure, we love talking about monitoring and infrastructure—it’s what brought us together. But we’ve discovered that the best connections happen when people can be themselves, whether that’s debugging a server config or strategizing in a multiplayer game.

Our space at Nagios Headquarters hosts everything from hands-on workshops to gaming tournaments. Maybe you’ll come for a Nagios demo and stay for a board game night. Or show up for the pizza and leave having learned something new about network monitoring.
