You can usually tell pretty quickly what kind of event you’re at.

Melissa Kjendle spoke at last year’s HERoic Hacks and kept coming back to what she saw happening between sessions.

“It was well thought out and executed, maybe a bit glamorous or bougie! Also, the diversity of the women who attended and the topics discussed really stood out.”

The impact wasn’t just professional. It was personal and created something that’s not always easy to find in this field.

“Personally, I was inspired by the women leading their own story and willing to be vulnerable by sharing their past. [HERoic Hacks] encourages women new to the industry and offers an unusual networking opportunity for all women in information security roles.”

There’s a certain feeling at a lot of conferences where people are trying to prove something.
Megan Larkins spoke at HERoic Hacks last year, and what stood out to her had less to do with the agenda and more to do with how people showed up.

“All of it. I loved connecting with other women at all stages of their career journey and hearing about their experiences.”

That kind of environment doesn’t just happen.

“I think events like this matter to support women and highlight their specific strengths and the growing community. Going to wider industry conferences are informative, but also tend to be isolating, highlighting how few women are still in the industry. HERoic Hacks, on the other hand, is not only informative, but empowering!”
