2023 Sponsorship Levels

Overview

Thank you for your interest in sponsoring the 10th annual Hackers Teaching Hackers. Many security conferences would love to have you as a sponsor, so we’re delighted that you are considering being a part of ours! We want you to feel confident that you are making a great choice by partnering with us in a mutually beneficial way. We have ninja skill-level information security professionals on staff who volunteer their time and energy because they love learning, teaching, and connecting with the community.

So why sponsor us? As technology trends change, we are not afraid of fun and alluring content changes to provide new and relevant information that attendees can apply to their daily lives. We strive to create an environment where curiosity and an appetite to learn are valued over experience. Everyone is welcome to be a learner and a teacher.

Sponsorship enables us to perform the mission of educating the community through hands-on experiences and networking opportunities. Space is limited, and we can only accept a limited number of sponsors. We highly encourage our sponsors to bring educational and immersive activities beyond marketing materials for attendees. Educational activities fit nicely with our theme of being a teaching conference, improve the likelihood of making meaningful connections with attendees, and enhance the odds of being accepted as a sponsor. We believe this is the best way to simultaneously create engaging opportunities for attendees and promote brand image.

Benefits of Sponsoring

Hackers Teaching Hackers offers meaningful connections in a rapidly growing community of information security professionals: individuals who represent major firms, hospitals, and universities all over Ohio and the world. Sponsorship is an excellent opportunity to achieve brand awareness with enterprise buyers and champions.

Sponsoring can also be beneficial for organizations who want to recruit talented individuals. With increased visibility among a diverse pool of skilled attendees, your brand can connect with potential candidates, showcase company culture, and highlight career opportunities. This positions your organization as an employer of choice, strengthening talent acquisition efforts.

Theme

Every year, Hackers Teaching Hackers identifies a central theme that is integrated into all of our activities, such as the CTF and scavenger hunt. The 2023 theme will be “Knight Rider” which is a play on the cult classic TV show that was first released September 26, 1982, involving a futuristic A.I. powered car. We will focus on the A.I. aspect of the show in content and marketing.
