SPONSORS

CSIDES is a not-for-profit, community-led event which is built by the community, for the community. We’re closer in spirit to BSides than to a commercial conference, which means sponsorship here is about supporting people, not sales.

 

As such:

 

• We do not collect or distribute attendee data. CSIDES is not a sales opportunity, and legally we cannot share personal information in that way.

• Sponsorship is recognised across our website, printed materials, digital displays during the event, and with thanks from the stage where relevant.

• Community sponsors are credited in line with their contribution. For example, bar sponsorship is highlighted during the welcome drinks at the afterparty.

• Our small volunteer team can’t create bespoke social media content for individual sponsors, but you are warmly encouraged to create and share your own announcements, and we’ll amplify them where possible.

• Each sponsor receives allocated complimentary tickets depending on their sponsorship tier. Additional tickets remain available for purchase on Eventbrite to ensure the event remains financially sustainable.

• Sponsors are welcome to bring a small items (such as stickers or pens) for the networking area. Any promotional items remain the sponsor’s responsibility throughout the event, as storage cannot be provided.

 

Sponsorship at CSIDES isn’t about running the show. It’s about standing alongside us to keep the event accessible, inclusive, and community-driven. Your support makes that possible, and we’re grateful for every organisation that chooses to invest in this mission.

 

Any funds remaining after the event are retained for the following year and we will always remain a not-for-profit organisation.
