Access to the Media List

Black Hat policy is never to share attendee lists with anyone, including the media list with sponsors. For an idea of the biggest articles covering Black Hat please visit our press page.


Exhibitor Press Collateral Area

Exhibitors can leave their press kits in the Media Center beginning December 14th. There will be an area for press kits, or any other special items you'd like to make available to the media in attendance. Jump drives and other creative company information is always appreciated and often leads to buzz, blog coverage and article mentions.


Press Release Guidelines

Black Hat owns its brands and content and must approve any third party use of its brands and content. If you plan to write a press release about your exhibitor announcement, sponsorship, speaking engagement or other activities around the event, please follow these guidelines:

  • Event boilerplate should be included in the press release (see boilerplate below)
  • The date and location of the event should be included in the first paragraph: Black Hat Abu Dhabi 2011 is happening Dec 12-15 at the Emirates Palace, Abu Dhabi.

If you have any questions regarding release guidelines or need additional information, please contact Natalia Wodecki.
