§01 — The Mission
A camp, not a conference.
Take a break from CISO life for a week and pick up a level and a hammer and frame a wall that someone's child will sleep behind. This trip is about getting out from behind your desk and recharging in the best way possible, by helping others.
We are partnering with a local Dominican build crew and Building Without Borders to take you on an unforgettable trip that looks different than most things you have done. You sleep in bunks beds. You eat what the cook makes. You sweat. And in the gaps you have the conversations with peers you can't have anywhere else.

§03 — Sign Up
TWENTY CISO SPOTS.
ONE VERY DIFFERENT TRIP.
Spots are limited. Cost of $400 covers lodging, food, ground transport, and translator fees. You book your own flight with restrictions on arrival and departure times. We are working to find sponsors for the construction fees which are estimated to be $33,000.
- Small price to pay to change the life of a family in need.
- You don't need construction experience. You need to show up with an attitude to serve.
- Signing up does not commit you, it only helps us gauge who is interested in attending.
