Thank you for joining us for our 5th Anniversary celebration! We certainly hope you enjoy the conference. Here’s to Education, Collaboration, and Community!
Remember, we don’t take ourselves too seriously and you shouldn’t, either! To quote the old motto of another collaborative community, "We trick into learning with a laugh".
We wish you both laughter and learning - and lots of both!
So you want to be a non-profit charitable corporation, eh? Do you understand what that means, the amount of work involved, and the restrictions 501(c)(3) places on your fundraising? In this talk, I will review the process Security BSides Las Vegas, Inc. went through to become a 501(c)(3), and discuss the restrictions imposed by being an IRS-recognized charitable organization. I'll also discuss a few options to 501(c)(3), as well as the advantages to federal non-profit status. Participants in this talk will have a better idea of the pros and cons of 501(c)(3) status, and the challenges involved in becoming a 501(c)(3).
