How can I use the Black Hat Middle East & Africa 2026 Attendees List?
Sales teams use it to book meetings before the doors open, marketing teams build invitation and follow-up campaigns, and account managers check which existing customers are planning to attend. Records can be grouped by role and company size so each team works only with the contacts that matter to it.

Lists are delivered as a spreadsheet (CSV or Excel) that can be imported into common CRM and marketing tools. Each record keeps the company, the contact, the role and the link to the event, so segments can be rebuilt at any time.
When should I start outreach?
Most teams start four to six weeks before the opening day, when buyers are planning their visit and agendas are still open. A second wave during the show and a follow-up in the week after it usually bring the best response.
When was the event data last updated?
November 4, 2026.
Why are event contacts more responsive than a general industry list?
Because exhibitors and visitors plan their participation weeks in advance, contact data gathered around the event is current, and it points to companies with active projects and budgets in the IT & Technology sector.
