Host a CISO.POKER Event

Bring the table
to your city.

Four event formats. One production network. You bring the room — we handle everything else.

Four ways to run
a CISO.POKER event.

Conference Satellite

Co-located with the conferences that matter.

Black Hat, DEF CON, RSA, BSides, or any major security conference. We produce the event on-site — dealers, chips, production, and prizes. You bring the room and the venue relationship. Your brand leads the event name.

Typical host: Conference organizers, security community groups, DEF CON villages

Local Poker Hall Game

Cybersecurity poker in your metro market.

Licensed poker room, 9–18 players, community-sponsored. The low-overhead, high-trust format that runs monthly in Texas markets. We help you list, structure, and staff the event through hacker.poker.

Typical host: BSides organizers, local security meetup leads, community chapter heads

Corporate Executive Event

Your brand. Your clients. A room that remembers.

Hosted under your company name at a hotel venue or private suite. Designed for MSSPs, large VARs, enterprise security vendors, and professional services firms who want genuine CISO access without a conference booth or pitch deck.

Typical host: MSSPs, VARs, enterprise security vendors, professional services firms

VC / PE Portfolio Event

One firm. The entire portfolio under one roof.

One sponsorship umbrella covers all contributing portfolio companies. CISOs play. Founders get seats at the tables. Each contributing company earns a prize slot and a 60-second moment at the ceremony. First right of refusal locks your firm into every future event.

Typical host: Venture capital firms, private equity funds, technology investors

Marketing reach.
Distribution infrastructure.

Every CISO.POKER event is backed by two platforms: the CyberAdX Network for marketing and the CISO Marketplace ecosystem for distribution. Your event doesn't just run — it reaches the right people before, during, and after.

CyberAdX Network

cyberadx.network

The Marketing Engine

Security-native advertising and marketing network. Every event we produce gets distributed through CyberAdX — targeted email campaigns, display placements, and newsletter features across the security practitioner and executive audience.

  • Security practitioner and executive targeting
  • Conference co-marketing and pre-event amplification
  • Post-event content distribution and highlights
  • Sponsor brand visibility before the event

CISO Marketplace
