Hackers on the Hill is a semi-regular gathering for irregulars from the security research community to engage with and Congressional staffers interested in cyber policy. Run by I Am The Cavalry, the program has been bridging the gap between the hacker and public policy communities since 2017, and we are excited to bring it back for the fifth time in March 2022.

The event begins with briefings for the hackers on the policymaking process and current events. Afterwards, our Hacker Ambassadors lead small groups to brief House and Senate Congressional staffers on a variety of topics. The event concludes with a Happy Hour nearby where we encourage candid conversations.

Do you have what it takes to cyber all the cybers? Sign up below via our interest form by March 11 - space is extremely limited this year so we expect to have a waiting list for others to participate!

Hosting a Safe Event

I Am The Cavalry is committed to keeping hackers and staffers safe during Hackers on the Hill. As with all planned in-person events held within the past couple of years, we are are taking prudent COVID precautions.

• First, regardless of Capitol policies, we expect that all of the hackers in attendance will be fully vaccinated and boosted. However, we also recognize that others present in the Capitol that day may not take the same precautions.
• Second, while in-person briefings create the best experience for hackers and for staffers, we are working out details on alternate arrangements, including virtual briefings and the potential for an outdoor gathering.
• Finally, we are monitoring COVID and hospitalization trends, as well as Capitol visitor requirements, and will provide more information closer to the event.
