Official Sponsors Announcement

Posted by isac on 05 Oct 2020

2020 has been nothing but unfamiliar. So to was this year's sponosor process. Right as we were hitting our stride with this event planning thing, moving to a virtual platform left us with new questions and concerns. We did not feel right persuing the traditional solicitation of funds in an already crowded field with an arugably already limited benefit model.

Keep in mind we have never, nor will ever directly provide participant information to vendors. Each year we attempt to impress upon the corporate leadership the less tangible benefits of supporting organizations and events such as BSides. It is a sad but frequenlty observed, albeit slowly changing, trait that corporate marketing departments must see a measurable RoI in terms of dollars. And that feeling only got worse as we started estimating the radical change in cost as we shift from a physical to virtual event.

As such, we communicated with very few potenial sponosrs for 2020, and focused on interactive events for the participant. Bear in mind that these companies and organizations are taking a calculated risk to help continue this free conference for, and by, the community. A visit to their links and an honest view of their information will benefit everyone involved and, hopefully, turn more minds toward the benefits of supporting events such as ours.

Please give a huge welcome to our BSidesDFW 2020 Sponosrs!
