Black hat mea
movement
Black Hat MEA is far more than an event in a moment in time. We want to serve the community all year round. That’s why we think of it as a social movement – because it's not a pure-play commercial conference and exhibition, it’s a grassroots movement where you decide the trainers, the topics, the features, and year-round social activities.
