Cyber, Strategy & Sleeper Picks - Indy Happy Hour

​Hosted by Blackwood in partnership with Cyera, Island, Horizon3, and Okta.

​The Season is Here—Is Your Defense Ready?

​Building a winning cybersecurity strategy isn't all that different from managing a championship fantasy team: you need the right lineup, proactive visibility, and strong partners in your corner.

​We’re bringing together the local cybersecurity community for an informal networking happy hour at Ale Emporium. Come grab a drink, talk shop, trade your best fantasy football hot takes, and connect with local practitioners and technology partners in an upscale, casual setting.

​What to Expect

• ​Zero Slides, 100% Casual: Pure networking with fellow CISOs, engineers, analysts, and tech partners.

• ​Food & Drinks: Enjoy a variety of happy hour drinks and food.

• ​Blackwood 2026 Fantasy Football League Launch:

  • ​A completely free Daily Fantasy Sports (DFS) league that practitioners can join at any time throughout the season. At the happy hour we will make sure everyone gets access to the league and setup for the season

  • ​Fill out your roster each week and compete for the top weekly score.

  • ​Weekly winners get their choice of:

    • ​A custom NFL jersey on us.

    • ​A $200 gift card for a great dinner out.

    • ​A $200 donation to a local non-profit (a great option for anyone with gift acceptance policies or vendor restrictions).

​If you are unavailable to attend, but still want to join the league, let us know via email, and we will make sure to follow up with a direct invite for the Blackwood Fantasy Football League!
