Sponsorship Opportunities for Brand Marketing
Welcome to White Hat Rally
Being a White Hat Rally sponsor is a rewarding investment!
“…the end of year returns reveal that we actually did more business
through relationships formed on the White Hat Rally, and we raised
money for charity in the process…”
– CFO CND LTD
The Purpose and Benefit of White Hat Rally
White Hat Rally was established in 2009 with the objective of bringing together the
Information Security industry to collaboratively participate in an annual car rally with the
purpose of raising funds for charities that help protect vulnerable children in the UK. It’s
organised by Senior Information Security professionals, and more than 90% of participants
are from the IS industry.
The rally itself is a three day navigational challenge, with teams having to complete various
mental and physical challenges along the way.
In 2016 we are off to France in a Murder Mystery themed event with 20-30 cars and 60-90
senior professionals, all ready to follow the clues and solve the mystery!
Why Sponsor the Rally?
By supporting White Hat Rally you will transform the life of a child like Emma and raise
awareness of your Company’s Brand, directly reaching your exact target audience in a very
cost-effective manner.
What brand marketing will sponsors see?
Target Market Many InfoSec professionals join the rally each year supporting
the event and using the opportunity to network with their peers and other
senior decision making professionals.
Social Media We brand all our marketing with our Sponsor’s Logos. We
have a quality contact list of over 2,500 InfoSec professionals and have
a large presence on LinkedIn, Twitter and Facebook.
Conference Presence White Hat Rally attends the biggest InfoSec
conferences and we can help market you by placing your logo on our
banners and flyers.
Which InfoSec conferences do we attend? We aim to attend all the major events: INFOSEC, ISF, 44CON, ESRM, ISC2, ISACA, CREST/IISP, Royal Holloway Alumni, various cloud/security trade shows
and not just in London, but also BSides in Manchester, IAP in York. For the last
2 years we’ve had one of the most visited stands in the whole of the InfoSec
London conference as we put cars on display!
Will you be the next Platinum Sponsor?
We have a level of support and sponsorship to suit your budget. Because every organisation
has different priorities and goals we have designed several different options which will
allow any sized organisation to participate and support the event.
