Frequently asked questions

How far you go is your own call. The community does not approve it for you.

Here is the reference line. What the contract protects is anything that identifies the client: their name, their logo, a combination of industry, size and timing that can be traced back, absolute figures, and screenshots of internal documents. Leave those out.

The shape of the problem, the calls you made and why, and where it failed are your own experience, and they are yours to share. When in doubt, read the relevant clause of your contract first.

Please do. What you withhold is what happened inside the company, not where you work.

In-house anonymisation does work differently, though. The moment you name your employer, every case you describe attaches to it, so instead of hiding your affiliation you lower the resolution of the case.

Blur the timing, drop product and project names, turn figures into ratios or orders of magnitude, and talk about the recurring structure rather than the individual incident.

A narrow request gets approved more often. Rather than "may I speak at a meetup", write something like "sharing generalised technical learnings only, with no client name, product name or figures".

If you are only attending, approval is usually not required.

We photograph the room, but never the presentation screen or the slides.

Only material the speaker hands out themselves leaves the room. Write-ups do not name the speaker or their company either. See the ground rules for the details.

The photography notice is part of the required application consent. If you applied before September 6, 2026, the optional consent you gave at the time still applies. If you would rather not appear in a photo, tell us at contact@beyonddeploy.kr and we will take it down. We will not ask why. Telling us at the venue works too.

Please do. The judgement you took away and the shape of the discussion are yours to write about freely.

Leave out the speaker's name and company, the specifics of any one case, and slide images and figures. It means a third party does not widen what the speaker chose to make public.

No. Speakers are arranged in advance, and attending carries no obligation to share. Listening is enough.

You can ask questions without revealing internal information too. Instead of "here is our situation", try "how do people usually solve this kind of structure".

You can cancel yourself through the attendance-management link in your confirmation email and in the pre-event reminder email. It works any time before the event starts and before check-in.

Cancelling is not an imposition. An empty seat is offered to someone on the waitlist, so cancelling the moment your plans change is the most helpful thing you can do.

Not showing up without notice may be taken into account when selecting participants for future sessions.
