A brand, not just an event
CISO.POKER started with a single event concept and is being built into a full event brand — a platform that hosts invite-only cybersecurity poker tournaments at major conferences worldwide, underground community games at licensed poker rooms, and private executive events for VC portfolios and corporate hosts.
Every event runs under the CISO.POKER brand with the same principles: zero buy-in for attendees, no vendor pitches, no badge scanners. Sponsors get genuine access — logo on the felt, 60 seconds at the ceremony, a room of CISOs who are actually paying attention.
The first flagship event is The Stack — Hacker Summer Camp 2026, a CISO poker championship during DEF CON / Black Hat week in Las Vegas, August 5, 2026. Subsequent events roll out through the CISO.POKER brand at conferences and cities globally.
The model, simply:
CISOs get invited
Vetted, invite-only. Zero buy-in. If approved, the seat is covered.
Sponsors get genuine access
Logo on the felt, 60-second ceremony moment, a room that's paying attention. No booths. No lead lists.
CyberAdX markets the event
Pre-event campaigns, audience distribution, and post-event coverage across the security network.
CISO Gear produces the physical
Custom card decks, chips, trophies, and card guards manufactured in-house in Texas.
