Sponsors.

Bitcamp is an event which allows hackers to use their skills to come up with solutions that work to tackle various social issues, and it thus attracts quite a large number of sponsors. Here are some of the organizations that closely work with the event organizers to ensure that the camp is a success:

The University of Maryland
College of Computer, Mathematical, and Natural Sciences

The University of Maryland

This university is home to twelve research institutes and centers as well as ten academic departments which deal with various fields ranging from computer science to physics. Computer scientists in the school work towards providing security and privacy in the information systems in the institution. The school ranks as one of the best public research institutions in the country owing to its cross-disciplinary approach. Learn more

Cipher Tech Solutions

Cipher Tech Solutions

This company boasts of skilled software developers who work to come up with solutions to tackle national security problems. The firm provides experts who work on developing digital forensic software, special programs, reverse engineering, and software development.

FINRA

FINRA

This company protects investors as well as the integrity of the market by ensuring that it regulates broker-dealers to make sure that they are efficient. This organization is not part of the government, but rather, it is a not-for-profit organization with authorization from the Congress to work on regulating the broker-dealer industry by enforcing rules that govern their activities and educating investors. The firm also ensures there is market transparency and looking into whether companies operate within the stipulated guidelines.

Bloomberg

Bloomberg

This company works in connecting people to new ideas, people, and news by creating a network with continually changing information. It helps company heads to come up with better strategies which work for the good of their firms, financiers in zeroing in on the best options as well as leaders in making decisions that positively impact the lives of the people around them. It thus makes sense that this company would be part of an event aimed at bringing people together to share ideas on how technology can be of use in solving societal problems.

This firm works to inspire people to have a positive impact on society by educating and mentoring them. It is similar to what happens in the Bitcamp where attendees get to share ideas under the mentorship of pros who educate them on other ways in which they can approach problems with increased success.

Other key sponsors in the event include stickermule, Google, The Manks, and Major League Hacking, among other participants who contribute to the camp’s success.

Why Sponsor the Event?

For one, it allows you to be in a position to influence some of the brightest minds in the nation as you help them build their skill sets to the next level. It also allows you to recruit people who meet the requirements for your firm as you get to interact with them on a one-on-one basis during the event. You also get to see some of the best projects in the country which can help you come up with ideas for your company. Additionally, Bitcamp is a not-for-profit organization, which means that all the money that you put into the event is tax-deductible. How great is that?

Types of Sponsors

Interested firms can apply as technical, recruiting, or branding sponsors, depending on what they would wish to achieve by being part of the event. Technical sponsors get to have mentors present, be part of the opening session talk, sponsor a side event, and deliver the keynote. Sponsors out to recruit new talent get a reserved table, access to contact information of the hackers in the competition as well as their resumes, a private room and can distribute materials which can help them attract more talent. Branding participants get to have their logos displayed on the website and shirts, social media shout-outs, logos on the step, and repeat banners and can distribute marketing materials in the events.


You can contribute to the camp in whatever manner you can as you get to reap benefits from the venture. Sign up today and get to be on the frontline as you watch the bright minds come together to deal with societal problems the best way they know how.
