Intimate. Inclusive. Equitable.

The HACKER IN HEELS SALON

Men in cybersecurity have been doing business alongside prominent industry conferences. Securing new opportunities, discussing strategies, and building generational wealth with each level they climb in this lucrative field.

Women, especially women of color, are seldom invited or included.

The security of our society cannot wait for women to be let into these conversations.

It's time we host our own.

The Hacker in Heels Salon is a series of curated dinners for women in cybersecurity, bringing together diverse identities, generations, and sectors to support individual and collective transformation.

Over cocktails, mocktails, food and conversation women trade opportunities, resources, and advice to advance their cybersecurity careers and amplify their impact in their workplaces and communities.

SALON FORMAT

Each Hacker in Heels Salon seats no more than 20 women to ensure powerful and deep connections can be made. Women apply and are carefully chosen with the goal of diversity in representation, experience, and perspectives. Ticket prices for the dinner are set on a sliding scale based on seniority in cybersecurity and corresponding financial access.

  • Plated, seated dinner

Partnership with GENUINE champions of women and diversity in cybersecurity.

Hacker in Heels is passionate about partnering with individuals and companies who are psychologically safe and have a track record of advancing women.

We will not allow toxic, inequitable organizations to be associated with our programs and events as partners or sponsors. They are welcome to pay us for our services or contribute without attribution until women's experiences improve.

This strategy signals to women that we put their lived experiences and safety above capitalism.

It makes the opportunity for partners and sponsors that much more valuable relative to other industry events.

When we work together, it signals to women that your brand / workplace is inclusive, equitable, and worthy of their consideration.
