NFC Sponsor Chip Tracking
TAP
NFC-embedded poker chips let sponsors track physical engagement at the table in real-time. Every chip tap is a data point — who picked it up, when, at which table — delivered to sponsor dashboards.
The physical layer — from poker chips to conference swag
Every CyberAdX event has a physical production partner. CISO Gear handles custom 3D-printed items and NFC chips. Security by Design handles print-on-demand swag. Sponsors and companies can order directly.

CISO Gear — 3D Print Farm
Texas-based 3D print farm producing everything physical at CISO.POKER and beyond — custom branded poker chips, sponsor chip sets, knockout bounty chips, card guards, tournament trophies, table felt stickers, and NFC-embedded chips for post-event sponsor engagement.
securitybydesign.shop
Security by Design — Print on Demand
Branded conference swag and corporate merchandise for any event format — sponsor tote bags, company t-shirts for luncheons, team gear for practitioner gatherings, and custom apparel for conference satellite events. Print on demand, shipped direct.
CISO Gear + TAP — The Smart Card Alternative
3D printed NFC chip. No business card needed.
CISO Gear produces custom NFC-embedded chips for sponsors and attendees. Instead of handing out a business card that gets lost, attendees tap the chip with their phone and land on your product page. You update the page after the event. Every tap is tracked. The engagement window stays open long after the room clears out.
3D printed by CISO Gear
Custom shape, sponsor logo, branded color — manufactured in Texas.
NFC tap → your landing page
Phone taps chip, opens your product URL. No app install. Works on any modern phone.
Update the page post-event
Unlike a business card, the destination is live. Change the copy, add a demo link, track the funnel.
Every tap is a data point
TAP system logs time, location, and volume — delivered to your sponsor dashboard.

The tools behind every event
CyberAdX sits inside a broader CISO Marketplace network. These three properties are the sourcing and deployment layer — finding the right attendees, listing your event, and locating security leaders by city.
CISO Events Calendar
events.cisomarketplace.com
The security industry events calendar used by practitioners to track conferences, meetups, and community events. Every CyberAdX-produced event is listed here — giving your event visibility to an audience already looking for what's happening.
CISO Vendor Directory
directory.cisomarketplace.com
Searchable directory of cybersecurity vendors, MSSPs, VARs, and product companies. We pull directly from this when building targeted invite lists for MSSP/VAR dinners, corporate training events, and conference satellites.
CISO Near Me
cisonearme.com
75+ metro markets. The vCISO and security executive locator we use for city-level event outreach. When you host a local dinner or a conference satellite, CISO Near Me is how we find and reach the right CISOs in that market.
Get in front of the room before you sponsor one
Beyond event sponsorship, CyberAdX and CISO Marketplace offer startup-specific visibility packages — YouTube reviews distributed across the ecosystem and directory listings that drive pipeline year-round.
cisomarketplace.services/startup-review
Startup Review
Paid startup review produced and distributed across the CISO Marketplace YouTube channel and ecosystem properties. A 2.5M+ view platform — your product explained and showcased to CISOs, security engineers, and decision-makers who are actively evaluating vendors.
cisomarketplace.com/membership
Ecosystem Membership
List your startup across the CISO Marketplace ecosystem — vendor directory, affiliate program, blog features, and event promotion. The baseline presence that makes event sponsorship compound: attendees can find you before and after the room.
Stack it with CyberAdX advertising
Startup review + ecosystem membership + CyberAdX banner/managed campaign = your brand in front of decision-makers across search, content, events, and YouTube. Self-serve from $500/month.
