Where technical truth meets policy power

Run by I Am The Cavalry since 2017; global since 2024.

The Problem We're Solving

Hackers explore technology, ask questions, and anticipate consequences its use (and abuse). Hackers do more than spot problems - they build tools and prototype solutions.

Policymakers steer society toward its values and away from harm. They need foresight from early adopters about emerging risks and opportunities - and what to do about them.

But hackers and policymakers don't often have the same social circles or speak the same language. Hackers on the Hill connects them.

What We Do

Hackers on the Hill advances effective cyber policy by building trusted spaces where policymakers and cybersecurity researchers work together on shared challenges. We forge relationships, hold events, and facilitate ongoing dialogue across stakeholder communities - rounded in shared values and principles.

We're an all-volunteer initiative from I Am The Cavalry where no one gets paid and no one's selling anything. We just think policy works better when the people making it have candid conversations with the people living it.

A Global Movement

What started in Washington, DC has grown worldwide. Each event is organized by local cybersecurity professionals who know the local policy needs and local hacker voices.

We're planning even more events in more places. Join our notification list to hear when that happens.
