Hackers on the Hill is a semi-regular US Capitol tour with irregulars from the security research community. Bridging the gap between the hacker and public policy communities, since 2017.

For the fourth time, I Am The Cavalry is arranging a visit to the US Capitol for members of the security research community. Join us for interactive sessions with our live, tame Congressional staffers.

The event starts with briefings at the Cannon House Office Building, room 310. We then split into groups and go to the House and Senate to brief Congressional Staffers on a variety of topics. We conclude with a Happy Hour nearby.

Do you have what it takes to cyber all the cybers? Space is limited and pre-registration is required. Arrive a little early for airport-style security screening. Due to tour rules, we will have to start as a group so be prompt - stragglers will be fed to the lobbyists!

Want to speak to the elected representative's office that represents you and your neighbors? Let us know who from the Senate and House represents you, and we will try to match you up with their office on the tour.

Ready to cyber all the cybers?

Unfortunately registration is closed. Check back with us for next year!
