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.
