ABOUT THE EVENT
HACKS & HOPS
IS BACK!
This InfoSec conference brings some of the most interesting speakers across the United States. Whether it’s your first time or you’re a Hacks and Hops veteran, we hope you’ll join us. We’ve evolved from a few dozen people talking InfoSec over beers to hundreds of attendees filling stadiums.
This year, we’re bringing Hacks and Hops back to Montana for the 124th Cats Griz game in Missoula!
We can’t wait to bring you the most informative and invigorating edition of Hacks and Hops yet.
