Black Hat is brutal on the body. Late nights. Recycled, dry, hot casino air. Long days on your feet. Coffee treated as a food group.

After back to back meetings, the last thing a security leader wants is another vendor steak dinner. They tell us the same thing. They just want to go back to their room, because they are burnt out and their feet hurt.

(Their words, not mine.)

So Cecil Pineda and I are giving this community something it actually wants. A morning to recharge before the day starts. A real workout with peers, recovery, a healthy breakfast, and a go-bag for the day ahead.

This is the CISO Games GYM.

This is a healthy way to start your Black Hat days.

  • Energy, clarity, and recovery instead of burnout.

  • Connection built on a little healthy competition.

  • A relationship heavy space where CISOs and security leaders are humans first.

  • Community around health, wellness, and showing up for each other. The heart of CISO Games.

  • The best networking of the week.

Christopher Russell, Brent Forrest, and Chase Cunningham will be on the floor to guide you through your workouts.

We are opening the GYM to a select group of founding sponsors. Limited slots, real exclusivity.

Here is what you get:

  • Brand association with health and community.

  • Authentic proximity to CISOs and security leaders in a non transactional setting they actually want to be in.

  • Co-branded gear in their hands and their gym bags. Tanks, towels, shakers.

  • Your moment to welcome the room.

  • Earned attention, not interrupted attention.

  • Content and footage you can ride all year.

This is what experiential is supposed to be.

Founding sponsorship of the CISO Games GYM is $7,500 per day. Or $12,500 for both days.

That covers everything above.

Your logo on co-branded gear in every leader’s hands, your moment to welcome the room, a full year of content and footage, and authentic proximity to CISOs in the one setting they actually asked to be in.

No booth. No badge scan. No steak dinner.

Just earned attention at the start of one of the most important weeks of the year.
