Hi folks, We need your help. We're still looking for sponsors for this weekend's Security BSides Austin, which is set to occur the same day as the kickoff for SxSW Interactive (a major developer conference). We have official sponsorship from Astaro and Panda, plus a couple unofficial sponsors. We'd love to see your organization involved, too! Unconference details here: http://www.securitybsides.com/BSidesAustin Here are some benefits for sponsoring: * Being part of the media conversation: As people talk about us they talk about you or at least see you. Security B-Sides has been covered in magazines, podcasts, videocasts, blogs, and even inscribed on microchips. Get caught up in the conversation and be part of what people are talking about. * Brand recognition and awareness: Depending on the level of sponsorship, you may recognize your brand placement at some or all of the following: t-shirts, signage/lanyards, lunch sessions, or attendee badges. Based on your level of participation, create and custom branding may be arranged including transportation, banners, and podcast interviews. * Big Fish in a Small Pond: For some, sponsoring large events is not within their price range leaving them with no option for communicating their message. BSides is just the place for you! This small, community atmosphere brings together active and engaged participants who want to absorb information. Sponsoring a BSides event enables to be that big fish in a small pond and better communicate your message to an active audience. * Stay in touch with the industry: BSides enables its supporters and participants to identify and connect with industry leaders and voices. These participants represent the social networking of security. They are the people who you want to engage to solicit feedback and bring voice to your conversation. * Targeted and Direct Audience: You didn't enter the secrutity industry selling your product to everyone the same way, so why approach events that way? Instead of marketing to the broader "security" community connect directly with the security practioners who write about, talk about, recommend, and implement security products and services. * Be associated with the next big thing: Nobody knows what the ?next big thing? will be, but these events are community driven with presentations voted upon by the industry. There is no magic to how it works, but we believe that listening to the underground can help prepare you and help identify what the next big thing might be.
