Why Support BSides Maine?

BSides Maine offers a unique opportunity to reach students and industry professionals looking to build or augment their industry knowledge with cutting-edge conversations. Sponsoring will result in the following benifits:

Reach the Target Audience: Attendees include industry leaders, thought leaders, security professionals, and students who wish to expand their depth and body of knowledge and network.
Engage: Unlike other events where the speaker is rushed in and out, BSides provides an intimate environment for attendees to directly engage with speakers and sponsors.
Big Fish, Small Pond: We recognize the value in engaging a focused audience. For some, sponsoring large events is not within their price range, leaving them with no ability to communicate their message. At BSides, we leave no one out.
Recruiting: This is an amazing opportunity for recruiting cybersecurity talent!
Supporting Non-Profits: BSides Maine is organized by a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization. Sponsorship contributions may be tax-deductible to the extent allowed by law. The deductible portion is limited to the amount that exceeds the fair market value of any goods or services received in return.
