Happy Weekend you all!
I am wondering — who's telling stories with us in London this year?

Corelight and Object First are confirmed, and many more will officially be in this week. So don't miss your chance to record with us and share your story.

Sean Martin and I have been showing up at Infosecurity Europe since 2018 — every venue, every news cycle, every London weather mood, and a few Guinness pints along the way. June 2–4 at ExCeL we'll be back, doing what we love most: walking the show floor, capturing the conversations that matter, and turning hallway moments into stories that travel. And of course taking a few hours to visit our favorites spots in London!

If your brand has a story worth telling at the show, there are three ways we can tell it together — all produced on location at ExCeL:

🎤 Coverage Sponsorship — comprehensive partnership across the event: 15-minute on-site video conversation, 5-minute Brand Highlight, 1–2 sponsored editorial articles, custom companion article, logo placement on the coverage page, multi-platform distribution, full rights to everything we produce together — and you get all the assets, of course!

🎙️ On Location Brand Briefing — a 15-minute on-site video conversation hosted by Sean and me, paired with a 400–600 word custom companion article, full media assets (MP4 + MP3 + PNG), and logo placement on the coverage page

🎧 Brand Highlight — a short, 5-minute story recorded on location at the show. Same as a Briefing, just shorter — if you've got less to say! 😉

See what nine years of doing this looks like — RSAC 2026 coverage just wrapped, Black Hat is getting busy, and Infosec is already taking shape:

You can book directly from the page, or DM me with questions and we'll take it from there.

So — who's joining us in London?
