All meal and reception only tickets are non-refundable.
Group discounts are available for groups of 6 or more attendees. All members of the group must be registered at the same time, on the same form. Late additions to a group are not allowed. The discount rate is applicable for the Briefings only; there are no additional discounts for Training unless there are 6 or more persons from your group attending the same class and session, and will be based on the rate at the time that we receive your completed Group Registration Form and list of delegates.

Group Registration FormRequired Credentials for a Media Pass
Please note: media badges allow access to Briefings only.
Due to high demand, media badges to Black Hat are limited in number. All requests for a media pass are very closely qualified by the Black Hat PR team. Only commercial news outlets, major analyst firms and leading industry bloggers will be issued media badges. Private consultants are not eligible for a media pass, and should request a pass from their sponsoring company.
To be considered for a complimentary media pass for Black Hat, the applicant must cover the information security industry on a regular basis by writing frequent reports or publishing relevant articles on the industry that are not solicited by an exhibiting company and are not confidential.
All applicants are required to provide links to bylined articles, reports or blog posts clearly indicating authorship.
At the event, you will be required to present a business card, government issued picture ID, and proof of confirmation. On occasion, for on-site applicants we will require articles on your organization's masthead and contact information for your assignment editor should we need it to validate your credentials before issuing you a media pass.
During the conference we will provide a press room with Internet access and electrical outlets for laptop computers. If you need a separate room for filming interviews, please request it in advance.
Pre-registration is strongly encouraged due to limited space. Should you attempt to attain credentials on-site, we cannot guarantee complimentary media admission.
