Host a CISO.POKER Event
Four event formats. One production network. You bring the room — we handle everything else.
Event Formats
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
The Production Network
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.
CISO Marketplace
cisomarketplace.com
The Distribution Network
Security vendor marketplace and the parent organization behind CISO.POKER. Events are cross-listed across the full CISO Marketplace ecosystem — the events calendar, CISO Near Me, and the talent network — putting your event in front of security executives where they already are.
What We Handle
Tournament design, blind structure, dealer brief, schedule, registration flow, and run-of-show. We've done this enough to know what works.
Custom card guards, branded chip sets, tournament trophies, and table plaques. All manufactured in-house at our 3D print farm in Texas. No minimums, no third-party vendors.
We maintain active relationships with security vendors, VCs, and product companies looking for exactly this kind of access. We help fill your sponsor slots and negotiate the contribution model.
Your event gets distributed across the CyberAdX Network — security-native email, display, and newsletter placements reaching practitioners, executives, and decision-makers.
All physical production items (card guards, chip sets, trophies) are manufactured in-house at our 3D print farm in Texas. Custom geometry and branding, no third-party minimums.
